Bubbling Noise???

[ShiuludeSVX]

This may be coming from a sort of Vapor Lock, but I have noticed a somewhat Bubbling Noise in the right rear area from time to time.

It's not loud enough to show during driving, and it seems to be only on first startup of the day.

Any input on what to check would be appreciated.

hey weird I've had this noise a few times too, only after driving for a while and turning the car off at home

Fuel gurgling in the tank. Normal life sounds, if my cars are any indication.

Doesn't the fuel tank have a transfer pump? If so, I'd put even $$$ on that being your noise.

Mine makes the same noise. I always assumed it was the fuel tank depressurizing after the fuel pump turns off.

Thanks all..

The noise is during startup, and there is a noise on shutdown, but that one comes from the Driver's side, and I assume that is a pump.

I'll pay more attention to conditions in the next few days, since it's due to warm up again here.


Edit.... It just sounds different from the outside. If you listen to the right rear quarter, you can hear it very clearly.
It sounds more like a mechanical sound from the inside. I thought maybe I had the right rear diff letting go.

Thanks again.
