When the engine is running and I am at a dead stop or driving very slow (like at a drive thru), I hear a gurgling sound coming from the front of the car, passenger side. I thought it was a squeaky belt but again, it's a strange gurgling noise. Maybe the suspension compressor or the AC compressor? I am at a loss.

Condersate from A/C dripping on exhaust??

Pull in your drive and hose it down over the right side wiper and I'll bet you'll hear it...if it is like mine?? :rolleyes:

Or air in the cooling system?

It's AC condensate dripping onto the manifold. Sounds like dripping water onto a hot frying pan.

Check your coolant level. It should be at or above the lower "COLD FILL LINE" mark on the Degas bottle.

I thought I had the same thing in my Cobra. But, I found that it actually was coming from the overflow bottle. I think it was coolant flowing through the small tube at the top and trickling into the overflow bottle. It didn't create the sound when cold. Only when hot.

Welcome aboard.

What do the inside of the front tires look like? I had a seperated tire make noise on the front of one of my cars. It actually seperated on the inside tread.

Yes! That is exactly what is sounds like.

Front tires are good, though I went through my rears at 25K.

I will check but I think it happens even with the AC off.
