Gurgling Noise?; Anyone?

Hi guys

I've starting having this strange gurgling noise coming from the engine somewhere. It's very apparent and only seems to happen after hard braking to a complete stop with the brake still pressed.

When I lift the pedal it goes away. Also, it happens more on downhill braking to complete stop.

Anyone had this problem before?

Might be my motor mounts need replacing after reading a gazillion forums

This might start to make sense, because I get a heavier belt squeel when I brake hard too, so somethings moving hard...

Engine mounts won't affect belts, nor will anything to do with the brakes.

Check brake pads for a start, brake fluid replacement might be a go but boiling fluid wouldn't make any noise, you'd just get a 'no brakes' situation...

Burp your radiator too, just to make sure.

There was a thread on this about 12 months ago from on of the NZ altezza boys...

I can recall it being related to air bubbles that had to be 'burped' from the system

Hmmm

Strangely enough, after inspection this morning, my charger was coming off the mounts!!! WTF??!

The 3 bolts were coming out....

Do you guys know if i use Locitite, if it's easy to unscrew later on?

There are 2 types of thread lock available:
1) Permanent (normally red)
2) Removable (normally blue)

Would go for the blue if your worried about not being able to remove them later on :D
Contacting me for parts

Cool thanks

I just don't want to endup having to drill them out

Even red should be fine as long as I can apply enough torque to get them out

Did you torque them up with a torque wrench to the correct specifications?

Are the threads ok on both the bolts and the thread inside the housing of the compressor?
