last week i changed the coolant and since then i have been hearing this water running noise in my engine bay. i can hear it from inside my car, and its usually during a cold start. i checked the level in the overflow tank, seems to be fine. and the engine temp is fine, its not overheating. any idea what this noise could be?

I don't know if have had any replies on this but here is one 1 cne. Check the heater core. It might have internal leaks. it is located near the floor by the firewall. see if you here more noise in that section.

You should drain it again if you want to.
And then run some regluar water throught the system, wit the radiator plugs open.
And make sure it nice and clear then put hte radiator fluid back in.
That should work.
Did you have the heater runnin' wit hte car runnin' to open up the themostat and whatnot for the engine.
You have to fun the car for awhile to let the water circulate in the coolant system.

If you had so many bubble, maybe you did your radiator flush wrong, do it over again.

you suppose keep squezz the lower radiator pipe and continuely adding water with car running and full blast of heater. you stop after you dont see anymore bubble.

so i went to the dealership today. they said sometimes an air bubble gets trapped like that in the heater core. no danger, it will get rid of itself.
