Default gurgling behind the heater cp
lol, I dont know any other way to explain it but I have a gurgling sound behind the heater control panel when the heat is turned on. Almost sounds like something is loose behind there. Any ideas?

Low coolant can cause a "waterfall" type noise.

All it is is coolant cycling through/ settling in the heatercore. Wont affect anything unless you coolant is really low. Just top it off and youll be golden.

I've had that issue. Sounds like maybe a fan or something rubbing
