Gurgling sound on 2010 RX8 GT
Occasionally I hear a gurgling sound at cold startup on my 2010 RX-8. It sounds like air bubble bubblingup in thick liquid. My coolant level was a "hair" below L and was topped up to Full using FL-22. Two weeks later the coolant is still at FULL but occasional gurgling.
The car rests overnight outside on a driveway that slopes up to the road so the car's front end points up the hill (~ 20-30 degree slope down). Any thoughts on the sound and what to do? |

Air conditioning system probably needs to be recharged. Have a search for gurgling a/c.

totally normal.
just the coolant circulating around. |
This will be the first car I've owned that had that gurgling, bubbling sound. I went through the workshop manual and there appears to be no way to bleed the high points or the core.
It was mentioned for the Series I but I've not heard issues with the S2 models. Any techniques to bleed off the air or a port that's not mentioned in the manual? |

Will do on the search. Thank you. |
I had the same problem when I picked up my 2009 R3, turned out that technician that install the new engine didn't place the coolant hose clamps in the imprinted grooves on the lines. I was leaking a lot of coolant, 1 gl over 3k. If you mechanically inclined maybe check that all coolant clamps are installed correctly, so there's no air leaking into the system.

I think mine did this yesterday started it and it made a weird sound like a plastic bag was caught in something, revs sounded like dropping but then it cleared..

I'll update everyone when I go to perform my annual FL-22 coolant replacement. Of course I'm following the coolant replacement instructions here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-...change-100164/
