I hear water rushing back and forth....but from where?
Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. I also couldn't find it in the search for some reason.
Recently, I've been hearing a noise similar to that of water rushing back and forth. It does it when my car is slightly under load and usually after I warm up the car briefly.
Is this coolant sound? Or is the T-stat opening making this sound?
It just got me a bit paranoid. There were no changes in temps at all.

Right on guys.
I figured that it was the coolant rushing through the heater core as my Miata did the same thing when the temperatures got a bit cooler.
I think I'm overdue to flush out my radiator anyways so looks like I'll be doing that over this weekend. Thanks for the quick replies!

Glad to see everything worked out. I had the same sound, for a different reason this summer. I wanted to add my experience in case anyone has the same issue.
I was getting this "water flowing" sound when I had the AC on, and eventually there was some water leaking into the passenger footwell. After a little investigation I figured it may be a clogged r blocked AC drain. Since I didn't know where the external end of the AC drain was I posted it up here.

I used this to find the drain, and the problem has gone away totally.
