Does my car have any issues?

[Rust]

Hey all.
I recently got an 2002 Audi A3 1.6 sport
so far i'm very happy with this car, feels awesome to drive and looks so nice!

I was out the other night, and after revving the engine a little,i could hear a sort of bubbling sound coming from the engine, kinda like water softly slushing about in a large container, anyone know why this is? or is it just nothing....

Also,might be just me but, if im in 1st or second driving along with steady gas, and release the gas, the car seems to slow down quite rapidly, like hitting the brake gently.

Any help would be great, thanks

The slowing down is normal, just quite torgue-y engines. Can't help with the bubbling sound though!

Maybe a bit of an air lock in the coolant, running around the heater matrix

i also was worried about the ticking, but read about it from one of the sticky's.

So far awesome car!
And very helpful forum community.
