Hi guys n gals...
Just looking for a little advice...
I'm getting a strange sound from my scoob in the mornings....when the car is cold...
Anyway...it sounds like ruuning water ....a trickling kind of sound...happens when I rev the car and when I change up a gear .....seems to be coming from behind the heater vents/head unit area....i had a look under the bonnet and saw 2 coolant hoses in that general area ..(my cars not a turbo)....could it be coolant I'm hearing moving thru these hoses???.....sound seems to disappear when theh car heats up....
I checked the coolant levels and everything seems ok....
Anyone got any ideas ???
Thx,
Niall

 

Power steering fluid ??

BREw:-does the same sound occur on Turbo UK models?

 

Sorry...
Should've mentioned earlier..
I dont have A/c in the car ....just standard heater controls....
just driven home from work & it was at it again.......not as bad as this morning tho...
Sounds like its coming from right behind the stereo..

I also have the same noise on my car, it just sounds like you describe.I dont have air con my car is a 96 uk turbo.Mighty puzzled,soula.

 

My Legacy Turbo did this too. Never missed a beat so don't think it is anything to worry about. Can't remeber what the dealer said but I was being paranoid !!

I'm far from an expert but I drive a lot of cars in my job and I hear this with a few of them and someone told me it was air in the heating hoses/matrix. Try checking water levels and bleeding it. Annoying I know but I wouldn't worry.

This happened to me. It sounds also like a leaf rustling in the air vent. The centre console vibrates and makes this noise ,push it about a bit and see if it stops, also chnage your fan setting to interior etc. Should cure it. But it is a really strange noise!!

Suppose I can put up with it .....
Good excuse to play my CD's just that little bit louder
