Weird Liquid Sound

[Samuel Leonard]

sometimes after starting my r32 gts-t i hear liquid splash around (sounds like it's in the dash but i'm sure it wouldn't be) is this my heater tap still open and coolant splashing into my heater box? only happens sometimes. thanks

Hey mate,

From what you've said it sounds to me like you've got air in your cooling system, this can be remedied by bleeding the air out of the system.

There is many guides on the forums on how to bleed the air out -

^ is a guide to remove radiator and flush cooling system including the process of bleeding the air out - you will be able to skip most of it.

It is important to get all the air out the system, if you don't it can lead to violent temp spikes.

Hope this helps.

last time i heard that it was because a welsh plug sprung a leak and lost most of the water....cost me a whole engine

have heard similar to this in my old commodore when the water drain got blocked up with felt and dirt and water was building up in the evaporator box. but if you havent used the air con lately will count this out

+1 for bleeding the air in the cooling system first before worrying about anything else
