#1: Water noise from glove box area Author: allison99, Location: shrewsburyPosted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:36 pm ---- Hi Everyone
Please could someone shine some light on this annoying problem my car has! There is water trapped somewhere in or around the glove box.It doesnt make a noise all the time but sounds like its moving from one place then seeps back over time.Its just like a bottle of water has been left in the car and is rolling around.The garage has tried all the things suggested on here,heater matrix,air locks,cleared out drain holes etc.Also they removed the glove box and the lining under the wheel arch.NOTHING. Where is this water? The mats are not wet and it is not getting any worse.I own a quiksilver 52plate 1.4 3dr. Any suggestions?

But as you took it to a garage I presume that they would have checked for this.

Yes this is the first thing I would check too
#9: Re: Water noise from glove box area Author: allison99, Location: shrewsburyPosted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 3:12 pm ---- More news on noise!!
Decided it is most likely huge airlock in heater matrix.But was then told the air is probably coming in through head gasket!!! Next idea is to drain the whole system and start again and see how quickly it develops.Is there anyway of checking head gasket? Or would you leave it alone for now? The car is not losing water and the oil is fine.

Bled the system?
Do basics, then get back to us

Sometimes it's there and sometimes it isnt. It sounds like a fair amount of water wherever it is. If you have any joy in finding out what it is please share.

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.
