I have this too,
It seems to only make the water noise upon acceleration. Even in neutral for a good while, whilst it warms up.......... then after it seems to get less and less. |

Yup i get that to, Press the throttle and there's like a rush of water coming from around the glovebox area, dont have a clue what it is. I have looked and it doesnt seem to be a Cause of any problems but as i said i really dont know, I do hope it isnt the head gasket. My last car's gasket went absolute nightmare, Rover 400 1.4 though, seems to be expected

It's just ure coolant system running through the heater matrix. You may have a bit of air lock in the system causing the trickling noise that's all!

because metal expands and creates a tighter seal on the gasket? thus reducing/eliminating any air leak

Take it to a garage and ask them to check for exhaust gasses in the coolant. thay will tell you if the head gasket has gone/is going.

water / heater pipes that come in and out cabin are down glovebox side,
check its bled and not low on water. or even leaking.

Change the pressure cap then, if the spring inside is weak it will allow the coolant to escape out.
There only £3.67 new from any Peugeot / Citroen main dealer.
