Model Year 23/24 Strange gurgling sound!

[Luner Lander]

Running a 310 (23 plate) VZ2 and pulled up at home today and noticed a strange gurgling sound (Thought it was my stomach lunch time) I’ve tried to locate the source and seems to be coming from underneath between the mid/rear. I suspect it may be a fuel pump issue? Or some other pump? Anything to do with the Haldex unit? It’s not affected by engine speed and quite distinct when stationary. When the engine is turned off it keeps making the same sound for another 1-2 seconds. Just concerned that something may fail altogether, there are no error messages etc.

Tried to book it in with the local Seat garage and have to wait a month!

Has anyone else had this problem?
Can’t see anything on the forum etc

Any thoughts would be appreciate, thanks

I’ve had a similar sound on my VW, turned out the air conditioning needed recharging.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, it’s appreciated.
This particular sound was from around the rear axle/fuel tank (under the rear seat) and after about a week or so, has since stopped altogether. Presume it was fuel tank related (pressure?) but I will never know exactly unless the problem returns.

Was it audible inside cabin or when you were near the boot outside?

It was very audible from inside even with the engine running. I tried to locate the source of the noise and it was at its loudest in the rear particularly in the middle of the rear seat. It was like a large amount of fluid was being pumped around which continued for a short while even when the engine was turned off. It was equally loud outside and again in the centre to offside.

Does anyone know if this can be caused by allowing the fuel level to drop to a very low level and then refilling to max capacity?
