The turbo? Though I'd be worried if i could hear mine spinning down. Or perhaps its just your ears re-adjusting after they've been subject to the clattering of that 1.9TD lump ? ;)

I sometimes hear a glugging sound, think its the coolant being pumped round?

I get the same sound asked my dealer and it was the fan?

lol! i think thats about right!

Fuel system pressurising by the sound of it!

Whatever it is it sounds great! I also like driving with the window slightly down as the Fabia VRS makes a great whistling sound, think its the turbo but i could be wrong. :)
