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

because metal expands and creates a tighter seal on the gasket? thus reducing/eliminating any air leak
#22: Re: Water noise from glove box area Author: greenpug2222, Location: bradfordPosted: Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:15 pm ---- ok ive looked into this a bit more and it only seems to do it in 1st-3rd gear. Im not saying its related but this is what ive witnessed.
my car does not over head and the temp needle sits between 80-90 ish all the time....
Does everyone still think its the head gasket????

check its bled and not low on water. or even leaking.
#26: Re: Water noise from glove box area Author: greenpug2222, Location: bradfordPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 7:02 pm ---- My car is still doing this,
Ive found that somehow water is being spray/leaked out of the expansion tank but i can not find out where. The lid is on tight,there are no cracks or holes in it and i still get the noise.............

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.
