Water Sound From Engine - Help Needed

[scook]

When im sat in the car there is like a running water sound coming from the engine. The engine seems to be running hotter thasn usual (could be because of the hot weather), Can anyone tellme me what this is , is it a problem with the radiator or water pump etc

[stevenet15]

sounds like it might need bleeding of air, there are 3 bleeding points on a vts,

1) right side of radiator at top little plastic cap
2) left side of engine a little valve cap thing
3) 5mm allankey bolt in thermostat housing

all 3 need too be bleed in that order untill all air and bubbles are out and top up your header tank as u go, check 4 leaks after

Yeh I had this problem to, the temp needle sits just over 3/4...

What my mate did was undid the valve cap, and the allen key bolt, filled the engine coolant to the top and then blew through the engine coolant till water shot out the valve cap...Seemed to do the trick, not sure if its recommended though...

you got a leak anywhere?are you getting moisture out of your exhaust? if so you may need the head skimming

i thought moisture always come out of the exhaust i.e. condensation ???
