Gurgling bubbling noise on bite cold start

Post by Alex_83 »

Hi

I have a 64 plate R-line Scirocco 150 TDI, about 3 weeks ago I started hearing a strange Gurgling /bubbling noise on the bite from a cold start, the noise would go after the engine was warm!. The car has done 4300 miles and is still under warranty.

I took the car in to VW and the technician thought the issue was a badly fitted heat shield that he fixed. Anyway the noise has come back and i wanted to an idea of what it could be before i take it back to VW.

know if you have any ideas.

Will add sound file to youtube later for all to hear

Hello ! I have just purchased a 15 plate GT 2.0 TDI 150 DSG.
This is also happening to mine.
It seems only to do this when the temp of outside is below 8c.
As soon as the car temp reaches the first segment on the temp gauge it goes.
Can you please let me know if you find out, and I will once it goes into VW Please? Many Thanks! ED.
