sloshing noise

[16vneil]

Since having my stereo stolen in the silence i have noticed a sloshing noise when i accelerate and brake , any idea what it could be. Would it be the fuel tank?

petrol???

partially blocked heater matrix causes this i have done a few, it always sorts it out, if you listen hard you will notice it comes from the passenger footwell area.

No! May sound crazy but my mams old RL used to slosh. It was water in the car shell underneath the drivers side rear passenger window. If you jack up the car and look under that part youll see a ridge running down length of car. Look closer and it intervals you can see a wee slot parrallel to the ridge. They can get clogged. I stuck up a zipper and wiggled it about and cleared it. I had to jack up the front to get it all out but I reckon I drained about 2 litres of water! Before then it had me baffled for ages, would do it with lots of petrol in tank and with very little. Soon as I drained it, problem was solved.

Could have been caused by water getting in when (Im assuming you had window smashed when stereo was stolen) glass was broken or poorly fitted.

Give it a try.
