I don't know what could cause this.. when I throttle my engine to 5000 RPM, you can hear a sound like water flowing through pipes (kinda like compressor sound). Could this come from water pump on high rews ?

And another unrelated subject.. when accelerating and car is worm (80-90 °C) I hear, like there is something in exhaust pipe, some small particals dancing in it. Is that normal ? I have this feeling, when my 1.4ie tipo is getting older, more things are starting to beheave strange.

Thx for answer

How many miles has your Tipo done and what year is it?

Exhaust sound could be loose exhaust mounts or failing CatConvertor.

Fill up the radiator and bleed the system while you do so, have the engine running and the heater turned up hot and full blast, see if that remidies your high rev water sound.

If they sound you are hearing is more "spray" like then "water" like then its possible you have a vacume hose lose or one of your fuel lines has ruptured.

1994, 1.4ie, 143000 kilometers

It sounds like water bubling in the radiator just below, where the heather is in the armatur panel. When RPM reaches 5000, you can hear water bubling in the heater. How can I bleed the air out of it ?

I tourned heather on full and fan speed also. I've opened the bottle, where cooling liquid is in, and sudenly, I saw some air go out in shape of steam. Now I hear nothing in high RPM . It seams it helped.
As for the exhaust sound, when car is standing still, there is no strange sound, clean nice tipo whispering sound up to 6000 RPM. Strange sounds start to come from exhaust (it seems the exhaust, like smal parts dancing in it) when I'm driving up the hill. Cause of that is uknown to me

PS. Tipos dont have RPM block ? Couse RPM goes up to 7000 RPM and more.. I only tryed up to 7000 and was afraid to try more..

Tipo's and most carburettor engines do not have rev limiters so do not try to rev past the red line or it might explode.


To bleed the Air lines fully you must:

1) Have a cold engine so try to do this while the car has been standing still for some time.

2) Fill a bottle of water and remove the radiator cap.

3) Turn engine on and put Heater on full and on HOT

4) Fill Radiator to the top

5) open the bleed valve on the return water circuit, wait till the water is free flowing then close valve (see pic for example)


6) Top up rad some more then open bleed vavle on the front of the radiator and close when water is free flowing, it is located on the left towards the top, you can see it if you can fit your head in the engine bay.

7) make sure water is at required level, close radiator cap and you are done.

As for the Exhaust try shaking it to see if its loose, if not there might be debris inside the backbox. I'm presuming it has a catalytic convertor as its a 1994 model, this might be on its way out.
