water sloshing noise-glove box area
i had this before on my blob and it was an air leak so when the new engine was fitted it obviously had a coolant change,that was 6 months ago and everythings been fine but ive just gone and used the car this morning and the whooshing sound has come back
it only happens when you rev the engine
i gave the car a good run and the temp/performance of the car was fine
why and or how has it came back?

its just a slight air lock, when the car is cold take of the header tank cap and run the engine up to temp, you will see the air lock bubbling out.
dont rev the engine and top up if needed and replace cap.
make sure heater is on hot and heater fan full on so to circulate around matrix.

I have read a post on SN recently where someone else was asking about this "sloshing" noise behind the dash and they had taken their car to a Subaru specialist who said it was the head gasket?
My car does this occasionally when it's stone cold and I haven't driven it for a few weeks and I'm sure it ain't the head gasket because it happens so infrequently. (But I still sat and thought, OH BOLLOCKS could it be?)
Sometimes it just does your head in looking for answers for problems that actually only really exist on these forums and in the minds of these so called "experts"!

Is this not fixed yet? I've had my rad out, drained all coolant, put a new timing belt on and refitted and filled the whole cooling system this morning. Surely you've bled your cooling system by now?

What it must be like to have a life without "other" commitments in life, I envy you
I'd best go any tidy the house, make the kids lunch, take them park, play games, empty dish washer and washing machine, play with kids more whilst working from home, prep dinner, and possible go to the garage to make sure my car is still sat in there comfortable and warm, whilst ensuring the kids are ok (young ens) and doing more work at home.

when i check the levels from cold ie 1st thing in the morning the over-flow bottle has around 1-2 inches in it,the rad is full to the top and the header tank is just below the bottom of the neck line-is this correct?
is it worth starting the car with the header tank cap off with the heaters on full until the level rises to the top?

Having heaters on doesn't make a jot of difference. It's a full flow matrix it doesn't require heaters blowing. If anything not having the heaters blowing will make engine heat up quickest as you are not transferring as much heat with fans. Run with expansion cap off and allow fan to kick in a couple of times. Worth squeezing the matrix input and output pipes to "encourage" any trapped air.

i started the car from cold today with the header tank cap off-heaters were set to hot and i left it until the water rose to the top of the header tank,no air bubbles came out so i put the cap back on and i still have the same problem
should i try burping the rad hoses with the header tank cap off? with the engine running or not?
