I got home the other night and parked up no problem but when i returned to the car a few min later there was a boiling sound comming from the drivers side front.
After doing a search on here mabye the ast cap has failed?
Any one know where the ast is? Is it the cap nr the drivers headlight?
Also i think my 2nd turbo isnt spooling up. Im going to check the vac pipes but am not sure what pipes to look at.
Here is the bay

Nah, thats ok - its the nipple for attaching boost gagues and the like. The previous owner has obviously lost the original cap...
Ta, Paul.
Ah ok thanks chaps.
Found the ast too now.
Dont think it was that tho as the noise was from the drivers side.
I guess its time to look for pipe damage

*Might* have been oil cooking in the turbos. Dunno if water cools \'em too, if so, could have been water...
Ta, Paul.
I quite often have a "bubbling" sound when mine gets parked up. This has been mentioned a few times before on here, over the years - on some cars it just seems more prominent than others - or some people are just more paranoid than others and hear more sounds! So it "may" not be anything to worry about.

Turbos are cooled with both water and oil.
Thanks andrew.
