Dinkus making Slurping, gurgling noises - dying matrix?

[dinkus 10]

I've noticed a slurping, gurgling type noise coming from the passenger footwell after I stop the engine. It only seems to happen when the engine has been fully warmed up though.

 

I still get head and no clouds of steam from the heater vents (not that I've noticed), but is it signs of a dying heater matrix?

Lucky you.... from a woman I trust?

Sounds like the Aux water pump. Mine gurgles a bit when there is air in the system, otherwise it whirs away quietly. Yours might be a bit worn if there's no air in the system. Air might still be working it's way out after your hose and coolant change. Took about 3 days to rid mine of air after the same procedure.

Hmm, it was doing it before the hose went, so could be getting to new pump time :(

You don't have air-con do ya?

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Yeah his does have Air-con

Ah well - the air con unit usually gurgles away to itself after a run.

Ahh that had occured to me, it only seems to do it after the AC has been on, so hopefully nowt to worry about :)

Well, on the basis that it's better to be safe than sorry, you ought to get the heater matrix replaced anyway... ;)

 

Do vibratechnics do an uprated one? ;)

That rule stops applying when it's an expensive, pain in the arse job to do ;)

 

lol, not they don't, but they do a nice set of matrix mounting bolts that keep it much more firmly in place :roll:
