TheTopGun New Member 22 Member For: 10y 7m 7d Posted 07/07/15 11:11 AM Share Posted 07/07/15 11:11 AM Is it normal for coolant to 'bubble' after turning of the car. Its like a bubbling sound that lasts a minute or two after turning the engine off.I have bled the system with heater on full up to operating temp, and theres no visible coolant leaks or noticeable loss of coolant.Another thread suggests its perfectly normal on these cars ?? I doubt that.Anyway I guess I'll try replace the reservoir cap next....
