sound of running water behind dash

[rob_s]

right iv noticed this a few times but now apparently its doing it all the time

bascily there is a constant sound of running water behind the dash of the lady's saxo

iv herd of the problem before and cant for the life of me think weather it was something to worry about or just the cars showing there age (its a 98 and seen a lot better days)
and its just a 1.1 spi

if not what is it? something linked the heater matrix im guessing?

cheers for any help

and its just a 1.1 spi

bleed the coolant system properly using the 3 bleed points, see if that cures it

yeah its air in the heating system. bleed it out with the bleed valves. i've got a pic somewhere to show where they are on your engine...

check the oil colour too

yea had it a few times on my old 1.1, sort it out before you start overheating and maybe blow a headgasket... like i did lol

i just used the top valve to bleed the system, keep the car running and rev it until there is a constant flow of water coming out, instead of it spitting water out

you dont want to get a water lock in it otherwise its an absolute cock to get the air out again
