Recently, a noise that I might best describe as a "gurgling noise" has been coming from the center console of my RX300. The noise is intermittent, however. When I had the RX serviced by my Toyota dealer, the noise was present and they diagnosed it as air in the cooling system or something like that. When they increased the temperature of the climate control system, at one point a "thunk" came from the center console and the noise went away. When the temperature was lowered, the noise returned. But the noise occurs whether or not the a/c compressor is one and even if the climate control system is "off" completely. The Toyota dealer bled the air from the system, but the noise has returned a couple of weeks since the service. Any ideas what might be the cause? The a/c heat are working fine, however, and the Toyota dealer has serviced and done maintenance on my RX on numerous occasions.
