92Lex Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Does it occur all the time? Any engine cooling issues? Does the heater work properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericksonusa Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 My 2000 GS400 makes the same sound. No heat issues, coolant level is fine. Car operates normal. 80k on engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollout Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi I have a 1999 GS400 with about 89000 miles and I have a water gurgling noise my behind stereo what could it be? Were you able to eliminate this noise? I have the same gurgling noise when I accelerate...from the driver seat, I thought it was my right front tire picking up rocks as I took off, but when I inspected closer, the sound is coming from behind the stereo...I took it to Lexus, and of course it did not make the noise for the service writer. The writers had never heard of this noise before. Did this problem get fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehullica Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Sounds like water trapped in the heater core. Remove the radiator cap and warm up the engine, heater on with a funnel in the radiator to purge out the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garz Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I had the same issue. I went to try the funnel fix and found my coolant level low. Filled it up and problem went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danubi Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 use floor jack and lift the front of the vehicle as high as u can(front only), then open your radiator cap and add some coolant(MAKE SURE ENGINE IS COLD!!!!!!!!). after you fill you radiator replace the cap, warm up your car and check if problem still exist. what you doing is gravity forcing coolant into your heater core and eliminating air pockets that you car may have. let me know if this work. MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS IN PARK AND YOUR E-BRAKE APPLIED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
