Default 51 wrx water noise

hi

picked up my wrx 51 reg bug eye last night.

started it this moring and i can hear water sloshing about in what i think is the heater matrix. say tick over blip the rev to 2000 and it makes the noise. hasnt use water in the 150 miles i covered last night oils ok too is this just the way they are, or do i have a air lock??

thanks chris

this is a common fault with having the coolant system higher than the rad air gets trapped causing sloshing sound in heater matrix there is a guide to bleeding the system on here i have the same thing with mine done 2500 miles never lost water or overheated just something ive got used to turn the radio up if it annoys you.

yep same thing with a 06 wrx seems to come and go. sounds like you have a small fish tank in the car

Mother Theresa seems to have a good fix will have to give that a try which track layout works for you. would love a go round the full gp track

I only had access to the national circuit so cut out the bit at the bottom. I think Snetterton is more fun though and would probably work just as well. Maybe you just have to go clockwise quickly to get it to work??
