like, gurgling coolant in the overflow tank? mine does this too. most will tell you it's a sign of a bad coolant seal. and I know my engines about to go.

when third gen engines are shut down, it is common for them to gurgle.

It's probably nothing more then your coolant boiling because these cars run so damn hot...summer time my coolant boils but winter time I get no boiling/gurgling sound.

Most of the gurgling is the water boiling off in the turbos!
Run a 16psi radiators caps.
