samo Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Okay, the only way I can describe this sound is that it sounds exactly like when you try to get the last little drops of your coke out of the cup with a straw. Seems to be coming from the heater core, and it happens every 10 minutes or so, sometimes louder than others. I checked the coolant level and it looks fine, but I'm guessing there's an air pocket in the system. Am I on the right track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Yeah you probably are, that sound usually indicates a low fluid level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks! Glad to see I was on the right track. Considering the coolant is full in the radiator and the overflow has some in it, how would I go about removing this air bubble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Park on a hill, start the car and squeeze the radiator hoses gently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Carb Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 That is of course providing the t-stat is open so that the coolant from the engine circulates to the radiator right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
