[dj_sonic_uk]

Didnt drive my car fora week during the couple of days when it snowed,

got in the car the other day for the first time, brakes were very very poor, (after pumping them a few times did improve a tad) and when i stopped i could hear A SWILL of WATER on the drivers side sounding like it was rushing past my door...?!?!?!?!?

WTF?!

I can only assume that when the snow melted its melted into my car somewhere but where!!! its really anoying as its badly effecting the way my car handles and stops! please help!!

lol

ive had that!!

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

and....how did u solve it!!!

 

[Mack]

i think thats water from the sunroof running down to the gulley in the front

 

[Chief]

Put some fish in it and see where they swim to

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

if thats true- how do i get it out?

if it has come from the sunroof ? then how is it sounding like its going past my drivers door?

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

chief.......... where do i get the fish in?

would certianly be an original mod

 

[Chief]

Youd have to recreate the original conditions. Freeze them in snow and leave them on your roof. Easy.

Car cover ?

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

ive got some pre frozen fish in the freezer? would tha work?

car cover? -whats that? do u mean a big plastic sheet to go over the whole car?

 

[Mack]

the water has to go from the roof to the outlet which is at the join between the bonnet and front quater panel. I think anyway

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

ok.....

drain it?!

Yes one of those big proper car covers. You see them on peoples drives outside their garages that are too full of junk to put the car in.

Dunno, just undo the sunroof and make sure theres no gunk in the bits where the water runs. I normally goes for me after about 2 minutes

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

na, dont fancy a carcover- cheers for the thought tho,

cheers mack- will try that out.

Not fuel tank is it. Ive only jut started to notice that and never did before. Probably because sometimes I drive without music on (get to hear the rattles too) and also leather seats may do something different to the acoustics inside the car.

lmfao!!!!

 

[dj_sonic_uk]

na matty cant be the fuel tank cos it was practically empty and it sounded like a lot of water- still sounded the same when i filled it up... as well

hopefully its gonna drain itself......

Sure its not Sills? The hole can get blocked I think so it dont drain away. I get it from time to time.. kinda weird.

You accelerate and its like water is somewhere swirling about, and thats what someone told me it was.
