General Water Noise!!

Hiya again!!

Thanks for all the help with my last post "Temperature Gauge causing concern"... but I'm back again!!

I added water to my car and it's done the job as far as the temperature gauge is concerned. When my car has been sitting and I switch it on, I hear water moving in the car... it doesn't sound like a drip but more like the water is 'rushing' from one bit to another. Any ideas? Someone suggested air? If it is, is it expensive for a garage to sort? :bang:

hope you didn't just put water in, you have to put in coolant as well, usually 50/50. this among other things helps stop the corrosion of the internals of the engine...& as said it looks like you have to bleed the system.easy job look in the guide section

had this problem with mine (the noise that is), turned out it was actually water in the to bit of the engine bay!! where it runs off the windscreen. the drain holes had been blocked by leaves!

If your only topping up, then it's normally ok

i get that noise alot
Thats because i'm loosing pressure via a slightly leaky Water Temerpature Sensor Mount....

Its just air, and only occours when the engine has warmed - fully cooled and then been started back up

I need to defo get it sorted
