Hey all. Got a 2003 VTR with a strange sound of rushing water coming from under the bonnet.

Scenarios where I hear this;

1) Whilst stopped in 1st gear, gradually bringing up the clutch pedal and setting off, handbreak off (this only happens sometimes).

2) In 1st gear at the crest of the hill, waiting to go down it. The noise hits whilst going down the hill, foot off the pedals and coasting. I hear this pretty much all the time.

most likely bubbles in the heater matrix, is the heating working as it should?

I'd add coolant and bleed the system

As Manu says, air in the coolant system, you can hear it rushing round, rebleed the system.

Heating is working perfectly.

I'll report back on progress. Cheers
