    Default Sloshing water sound from passenger footwell area

    Anyone else got this on a newage. Similar to this scenario on SN:

    hawkeye running water sound - ScoobyNet

    I thought it was in the door; its not as the drains are clear. Then thought water from cleaning it might be collecting in the undertray piece that runs down the length of the car behind the sill pinch strip.

    Any ideas, doesn't last too long into a drive so whether its water escaping or the SN article I'm not sure. Could it be a small airlock (cambelt change 3-4months ago), temp gauge is always the same.

    - John

    john used to have similer problems when i work at renault, the car developed an air lock in the heater matrix, then when you were driving you could hear the water moving about or the other favorite was it colected in the sills. just read ur post again if it doesnt last long it more than likley in the heater matrix

    its the water in the heater matrix, this may seem weird but top up your coolant level.

    Cheers Daza, coolant level is just on low, guessing it just needs a touch more possibly from the cambelt change in july.
