[DML] Re: What's with the glug glug noise?





I am having the same problem, but my situation is a little different.
I have a twin turbo with dual exhaust. When I first bought the car it
made the glug glug noise on deceleration. I sent the car to PJ GRady
for some work on the car and he fixed the problem. Recently I had my
turbos rebuilt and changed the cat's and exhaust tips with new ones. I
also replaced the O2 sensor with a new one. Now I get a slight glug
glug noise on deceleration.

Also in response to Davids prior email, I use Mobile 1 15w50 oil,
never had any oils leaks on the turbos. I change my oil every 2,000
miles or every 6 months, more often than not it's every 6 months as I
only have 13,000 miles on the car. One time I accidently used 5W15 (or
5W50 can't remember) and the oil just seaped out, on the way to PF it
sprayed out everywhere.
