jaydog82 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 So recently I have been noticing the sound of rushing water from somewhere behind the dash on the passenger side. This must be connected to the water pump because it rushes with the revs of the engine. If I rev the engine from standstill I can hear it sloshing and bubbling, and I hear it when I pull away. I had the cam belt and water pump done a couple of months back so was wondering would it be air in the system and if so is there a bleed valve or a process to remove the air? Anyone else had this problem? And is it what I think it is? thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyc Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Heater matrix maybe? Any other running problems, holds temp fine, oil clear and no signs of head gasket failure? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog82 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 No problems at all mate, not overheating, plenty of hot/cold air from the blowers. The water sounds like its being pumped and it does it when I rev. All I can think is air in the system from when the water pump was fitted?

Linx Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Are you sure it's not the power steering fluid making the noise? I've known this in the past. See if it's worse on full lock. Might be worth changing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog82 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ok will try it at full lock and some revs see if it's any different. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sec1/4 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I have the same.. Not a scooby what is causing it but could be PS fluid? Hadn't thought of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog82 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Turning the wheel doesn't seem to make it any different. Tempted to change the ps fluid anyway because I don't know when it was done last 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'd say air working its way through the system, take a long while. I had the same noise after changing the coolant, water rushing sound behind the dash on passenger side. Doesn't do it now a couple of months later and I haven't touched anything.
