harris, there's been quite a few of these 'trickling water' threads and the overall consensus is that it's 'normal'... Just another one of the Scooby's foibles

Talking

The first time I heard it was when I first got the Apexi Commander and was setting it up to my preferred way. I had just parked up after coming back from work and was fiddling with the Commander... but with the radio off for the very first time! It was because of the silence that I heard these strange 'gurgling' noises from behind the dash. I was really confused at first but then ultimately thought the worst e.g. head gasket failure or heater matrix seriously leaking or something.

I'm so glad I subsequently saw threads on here about it though...
