Picked up my Lariet 2.0 with 4k towing package a few days ago. It now has 250 miles on it. I've started noticing a gurgling sound when I shut off the engine. It doesn't do it every time but I've heard it twice now. It lasts for only a few seconds. Any ideas?

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. As the bubbles move with the flow of coolant, you hear the movement as a “gurgling”. This can be a problem – air trapped in the system can cause your car to overheat.

Coolant is some times added at delivery, by your dealer. They may not have bled the air out.
