Does anyone know why my engine sometimes sounds like its hissing?? its only when i start her up that she does this, doesnt happen all the time just after really hot days it does tho.
it goes away once iv driven the car for a bit

hmmm tricky 1,i had this problem also,was something to do with stepper motor and ecu coinciding so had to get it reset on a computer,could be a different fault,brake servo/air locked coolant system,if you take the radiator cap off is it bubbling like mad and wanting to piss out over the top?
