Why does my car gurgle when idle?
When the coolant cools and condenses, it moves into the radiator. Both of these can cause a gurgling or bubbling sound, and are completely normal. However, there’s also the possibility that there is air trapped in the system. As the bubbles move with the flow of coolant, you hear the movement as a “gurgling”.
Why does my car idle rough when I pull the dipstick?
Pulling the dipstick or oil cap relieves the pressure, but lets unmetered air into the intake causing rough idle. Normally I’d say you have a problem in the PCV, but it sounds like you’ve done all that. So, I’m guessing worn seals.
What happens when you remove the oil dipstick?
While looking about the engine while it was running and squeaking, I noticed that if I removed the oil dipstick or fill cap, the squeak would cease completely, but the engine would stumble and idle really rough but then recover somewhat.
Why does my car make a ticking noise when I Turn Off the engine?
If the oil level gets too low, you can have a situation, where the oil pump sucks air into it; and the air gets pumped through the engine along with whatever oil is remaining. As a result, This can cause a rattling or ticking noise from within the engine. Shut off the engine immediately. Use the oil dipstick to check the engine oil level.
What causes a squeak when you pull the dipstick?
Spark plugs can cause a squeak as well, but wouldn’t disappear when you pull the dipstick. OP…..you are describing a dry crankshaft seal. There have been several members that had this experience and seal replacement resolved it.

What causes the engine to start ticking at idle?
2. Exhaust Manifold Leak. An exhaust manifold leak is the cause of engine ticking at idle and acceleration. It happens when exhaust gases leak at high pressure from a leak in the gasket or a rupture in the manifold. This is not a serious problem, and you can still drive.
Why does my car squeak when I remove the dipstick?
There’s also a vacuum when I remove the dipstick and oil fill cap, whereby if I loosen the oil fill cap but still leave it on the valve cover, there’s noticeable resistance to remove it from the suction. Also, the engine only really makes the squeak when it’s up to temperature and I’ve been driving from some time.
Generally speaking, gurgling noises are the sound of air or water moving around in your cooling system. If the problem is persistent, try bleeding the air out of your cooling system, since trapped air bubbles are a major cause of both overheating and gurgling.
Why does my car AC make a gurgling noise?
Refrigerant Lines Your system’s refrigerant is responsible for causing cooling, which makes it essential for operation. However, it’s necessary for the refrigerant to flow. A gurgling or watery sound could indicate a problem with your refrigerant lines. These lines allow the refrigerant to circulate through the system.
Why is my exhaust gurgling?
The gurgling sound is typically associated with boiling water and a sizzling sound, similar to that of hot bacon being fried on a griddle. What’s the cause of this sound? In many ways, these three sounds typically are attributed to the same source; an overheating engine or coolant system.
