boiling water sound

[supra10]

ok so every time i start my car up and i let it heat for a few minutes.. when i step in the gas a little bit i hear this
water sound... i dont know how to explain it but it sounds weird and it gets me annoyed.. i tried to look at it but for some reason i cant hear it when i have the hood open.. its only when im inside the car.. any ideas of what it is???

 

[jetjock]

You must be kidding

 

[plaaya69]

It sounds like the heater core

 

[supra10]

kidding about what?

That's called the "waterfall" sound...and it indicates that there are air bubbles in your cooling system...test the cooling system for leaks.

 

[supra10]

thanks.. ill get on it tomorrow....

Ditto. Try running the car with the nose just a little off the ground. Leave the radiator cap off and let it warm up. After it finishes expelling some coolant (don't worry, it's totally normal) you'll be left with very little in the radiator. Now, top off with 50% green coolant. Let it run some more. Repeat until it stops overflowing. Cap the system and fill the resevoir a bit.

Ta-da! You've bled your coolant!

Well, the air had to get in there somehow...You probably have a coolant leak somewhere, or you radiator cap spring could be getting weak, or isn't a dealer cap... The sound can also be an early symptom of a BHG in some cases.

You need to pressure test your cooling system to find any leaks.

Also, you should only use the Toyota red coolant...that green prestone junk likes to errode aluminum at an alarming rate.

i have the green crap in my car.... you know what ima get the red coolant a.s.a.p... that bhg thing scares the hell out of me... i dont wanna have bhg...

thanks alot guys!!

i have that noise too, but with a MHG, i need to check my coolant too

 

[BudweiserJason8]

My car also makes that noise, but my radiator is dry rotted and starting to leak from the top.

 

[supra10]

i checked the pressure and i have no leaks.. i checked everything i could think off.. and now im loosing coolant... little by little..... this is really starting to worry me!

 

[BudweiserJason8]

If you have no visible leaks the head could be cracked?

 

[plaaya69]

Sounds bad. Any white smoke from the exhaust?

 

[johnathan1]

I would think it's a BHG before a cracked head...

 

[rumptis]

I heard this sound when I had BHG and I heard it again recently when my coolant lvl was low because of a water leak at the water neck.

When I had BHG I couldn't get it to go away now I just add some coolant and I don't hear it again until the lvl becomes low again.

 

[supra10]

yeah every time when i start the car white smoke comes out the exhaust....
man! i kant believe it could be bhg...... damn! the engine has like about 80k....
is it a pain in the ass to get rid of bhg??

you dont get rid of a bhg broski, you replace it

and depends on how much patience you have. It can be a pain in the ass. It can just be a burdensome task...

It is some work but if you know what you are doing then you can get it done. Atleast you dont have as much work as the Turbo Supras.

 

[supra10]

ill start my adventure.... with the bhg....
