#1: sound of running water when accelrating Author: pete_206, Location: Ash, SurreyPosted: Thu May 23, 2013 4:54 pm ---- Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of selling my car... Today when I started her up for a little run to keep the battery healthy I heard an odd noise I've never noticed before. As I put my foot on the accelerator there was a sound of running water coming from the left hand side of the car.. it sounded as though it was possibly just behind the glove box.
The car drove fine with no issues, and the sound appeared to reduce or disappear completely once out on the road. The engine did however take a few hard revs on starting to get flowing normally.. perhaps due to being stood for a week without running?
Any experience, knowledge or suggestions of what may of caused this sound would be greatly appreciated!
