Water Sloshing Noises + Coolant Reservoir Too Full. Bad Radiator Cap causing Air Pockets| VLOG-ish

- While hearing these sloshing noises is almost guaranteed to be an air pocket issue, the causes for the air pocket can be varied.
In this video, I go through the thought process of breaking down the symptoms to come up with the possibility of a radiator cap.
History is important - and in this case, I know that although the radiator had been replaced a couple of thousand miles ago, the coolant reservoir has had the correct level of fluid all along. We'll keep an eye on it. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE EXCELLENT VIDEO & EXPLANATION!
Thank you for sharing knowledge and recording so detailed video. Going to do the same for my M37 as I've noticed that my coolant tank is way over the max as well. But will have to run a flush eventually.
Thank you Ros, I'm glad the video was able to convey the message and offer a possible course of actiin for your issues.
Please keep us updated.
Great Vid bro. I literally just fixed this problem today with the same reason. My radiator cap in combination with too much gunk in the bottom of reservoir caused the coolant to go in the res but not back in the radiator. Had me stumped at first. Caused oil consumption and trans skips and all kind of mess. All fixed now with new OE cap and fresh coolant only. 06 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 3.5.
Crazy what a little cap can do when combines with dirty coolant.
I eventually found my thermostat to be an issue, so I replaced that as well, but I always start with the cheap easy fixes.
Stay safe out there ✊✊
How much to fix it ?
I am dealing with this gurgling on my 2007 Nissan Xterra. Thanks for the informative video.
Bro very good video don't know if you are a machanic or not but what you did on that video was great. I have that same problem on my Nissan b16 so I am going to give it a try.my reservoir bottle overflowing
I'm having the same sloshing sound when I start the car to let it warm up and it's bad too, like a little kid sloshing around in the bathtub or something. The other night, I was driving it, and the "red" temperature light started flickering. Stayed on for a few minutes, then went off. I couldn't even pull over to shut the car off. I know, I should have tried, being that red light of death staring me at the eyes. Does this all correlate with one another?. Thing is, I had this (2011 Subaru Legacy) serviced barely four months ago. I told them to do all the fluids and anything else it needed. I never had this problem in all the nine years that I have owned it. That light never came on before, let alone the sloshing sounds beyond the dashboard. Not a happy camper.
I have a 2003 Honda Civic LX with no bleeder valve and used the funnel with coolant method to burp the system and it still didn't work. What I found out later is that you leave that funnel with coolant attached after shutting off the engine. Do not plug it. Let the coolant and engine cool overnight. As the coolant in the radiator and engine gets cold it contracts creating a vacuum sucking more coolant from the funnel. If you remove the fumnel too early, you risk sucking in air instead.
The sloshing isnt necessarily a problem if heard its just coolant in the heater core getting pushed through but it can possibly mean air pocket(s) or water trapped in ac evaporator drain pan. Can be clogged ac drain tube.
My Lexus ES 300 2003 model is doing this same thing that happened to your car , how do I locate my the part to bleed the air out
2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee, same sound. But my radiator was replaced, hoses are checked and tight; thermostat and water pump replaced as well and work well. Base on your video, sounds like there is one more thing I can troubleshoot and that is the radiator cap. Once I replace the radiator cap with Jeep OEM, do I need to do anything for this change to take effect? Or is simply changing the radiator cap is enough?
great educational video
Love ur videos Eddie
Thanks for the support man. I help in any ways I can
Thanks for the video
Gracias Great Video Bro
Is it crucial to get it fixed ??
I have a Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Litter e tine 4 Cyl . I can hear a gnashing sounds like water in the top of my engine . Is that a Air in the intake .How do I get rid of that slashing sounds like a water ?Then I had a flaming engine lights But my car runs good How do I fixed this issue
My skoda makes a water gurgling noise from dashboard for 3/4 seconds on ignition
Any remedy for it
Great video. Is it good to open the radiator cap often to let air out?
Thanks.
Regarding the radiator cap, no you don't have to open it for that purpose. The overflow tank/coolant reservoir should be handling that part - take out the air, and replace with coolant.
If the system is working properly, no air should be introduced into the system.
However, I do open my cap once in a while just to make sure that I have coolant all the way to the top.
I don’t have any weird smells . Sometimes when I rev or start the car I will hear the water / sloshing sounds . Tryna figure it out
How you solved it ? And what was problem?
I have the same thing, trying to figure out what is it
there moght be air in your heater core
Very helpful
Its happening for my KIA Spectra 2009 car when making turns or raising gas after a complete stop . Mechanic replaced radiator and maintained coolant level also there is no leakage, I am still hearing it. Any clue ?
same 😕 vw golf mk7
The other day I was playing around with the dome lights and now all my interior lights went out but I can’t for the life of me find the fuse which it is for I have a m37 I checked both engine bay fuses and the one under the wheel do you have any suggestions? Would really appreciate!
Sorry, nothing that I can offer at this point.
When that happens to people, most times they report a BCM issue upon diagnosis
Great info
Thank you
Two weeks ago my car got some major work done , rocker arms, cylinder gaskets, and they replace the antifreeze.. two weeks later today i hear the sloshing , coolant temperature is 280, and reservoir is full. Vvt 3.6 laredo
I have the same situation in my subaru BRZ, slushing when starting the car under the dash. coolant rises, but there is a slight bubble in the reserve tank, its like 1 bubble per second. any idea what that is?
I feel like if you see the bubbles actually forming, you're dealing with a breach of exhaust gases into the coolant. Sometimes you can also see the coolant boiling in the reservoir and if you smell it, it smells a little different.
Sometimes engines eat coolant, but sometimes the crack/hole/gap etc is only evident when the engine is hot and the in-cylinder pressure is pushing outwards
Hey @Temper Tv, Did you solve this one?? I've got the same problem on my 2011 Subaru Legacy, 2.5i engine
@@psalmkuru24 yep. just changed the whole system with a new coolant apparently, my previous coolant change wasn't bled properly hence a lot of air in the system
I am having a 2002 Avalon with coolant being pushed out. Can anybody help
Hey ed quick question fx35 isn’t overheating but reservoir always stays full it won’t drain once it’s cooled down any suggestions
Hi, I had the same issue as per the video, in my case the car has a small crash, and an the repairer flushed the original blue coolant with a green one, I did the coolant air purge twice but not luck, when I was almost ready to replace both thermostats I decided to replace the coolant with an original one, this solved my problem.
I have Mercedes E350 2019 model. I have water sound coming from the dashboard
Also my coolant is leaking and I need to fill it every month
What could be the issue?
same issue here, could you help me
I have Hyundai i40 and I hardly get any hot 🔥 air even when temp is high. Coolant level is all okay. What the issue can be?
I am not very familiar with your car, but sometimes a blend door gets stuck or fails. That is what directs air to blow over the hot coolant in your dashboard.
I would hate to send you on a wild goose chase though, so I suggest you have it checked by a professional. Delaerships can usually do different test to open/close all these doors while troubleshooting what exactly failed.
I smell coolant but no leaks present. Have you had this happen on your fx after driving?
Usually when you smell coolant, it has escaped out of the sealed coolant system.
Have you checked your reservoir or filler neck to see if the level is low?
Usually we find that this is due to cracked radiators, but depending on your engine, you might have a hidden leak.

@@EdBwoymine is low, I’m guessing just adding some of the same wouldn’t fix it?
Good video but what I'm thinking is that if air continues to get into the cooling system is that it may be an indication of a leaking head gasket letting air/fuel mixture be pushed into the cooling system rather than a faulty radiator cap letting air in. If that is the case, I recommend a product called K-Seal.
You are right about that. If the air pockets persist, then it would be time to dig further into the diagnosis.
As complex as a cooling system might be, one of the most crucial parts happens to be the cheapest, so sometimes it just makes sense to replace it with a known good one. For me, I was lucky to have another car to exchange with.
A quick update - I came to find out that they had installed the wrong thermostat.
@@EdBwoy how does a wrong thermostat cause air inside your cooling system?
@@Prime-nf5yy the stars have to be aligned perfectly for that to happen. Bad thermostat blocks flow, so a lot of the expanded coolant goes to the overflow.
Ideally, the coolant should get sucked back into the system when it cools down, but it's not as efficient/immediate like the overflow process.
If this keeps happening, you could lose more through the overflow than can be sucked back in, and eventually the system can start sucking air back in.
@@Prime-nf5yy a little extreme example, but I have watched a car overheat and overflow the reservoir, so it was parked and left alone to stop boiling. The next day the reservoir was dry as a bone.
It might have looked like it was "eating coolant" but my experience with high compression aluminum engines is that they are more likely to push exhaust gases into the coolant system than vise versa
I Never experienced an overheating problem with my black M35 S I've had the car for like 5 years with 0 major issues nothing but normal maintenance but last month it happened the car overheated thought i blew a head gasket because the radiator cap wasn't holding pressure after i changed it i never experienced that issue again
Nice!
If I may ask, was the issue diagnosed by a shop or just by yourself?
@edbwoy I just picked up a fx50 ran great till yesterday it overheated i let it cool down and never overheated again for the whole 2 hour drive home. could that be a radiator cap sucking air into the system creating warm air pockets ?
Also my coolant resevoir went all the aay to the cap as well
I have been hesitant to announce this, as my research is inconclusive at this point...but I think a significant number of these engines have cooling system issues. Where did you buy yours from?
@@andrewluostari5592 can you check your oil filter neck to see if it is frothy?
@@EdBwoy i bought it from a smaller dealer up here in northern Minnesota. I just changed the oil and nothing looked like it was mixing or frothy and thats what confused me. I swapped out the radiator cap cause I was having the same issues and got a ton of air out of the system last night
Any serious effect on engine in long run?
It depends on how much coolant you lost and how long it ran like that. Coolant problems sometimes just include fixing the most obvious issues and then monitor to see if anything else was affected.
For me, I later realized that the thermostat was also bad.
I just replaced the radiator cap still same issue
Hi, I am from India.
My car (Hyundai Verna Fluidic 2011 CRDI Diesel) is having the water gushing sound.
The coolant level seems ok. Infact I poured some distilled water in the coolant but it still is maling the noise.
need to do Coolant Air Purge, does the engine need to be cold or can I drive to a place which has a ramp like 7 km away ??
You can do it warm. Just make sure the coolant system has cooled down enough that you can safely open the cap or relief.
@@EdBwoy 15 min of cooling down should be enuf to avoid scalding due to steam
@@kjsahai I would think so, because 7km is not such a long distance. However, I would still encourage you to be careful as you open it so that it doesn't splash out
@@kjsahai also, what is the ramp for?
Most modern vehicles I have dealt with can have the air purged without needing to elevate the front of the car.
hi edbwoy.. did you fix this problem?
No, it kept persisting and I found that my thermostat was bad
@@EdBwoy did you changed it an fix problem?
I changed the thermostat and so far it looks like it fixed it. I'll keep driving and checking again
@@EdBwoy i changed the ratiator cap . was 1.3 bar (137kph) and i installed 0.9 bar cap. everithing looks good..
У меня есть огромная просьба, помоги пожалуйста.
Я заказал с Японии щуп на акпп как ты мне посоветовал. Щуп приехал и я проверил уровень масла, а он показывает что масла слишком много.
Может щуп не такой?
Можешь померить длину щупа которым ты работаешь и сообщить сюда? Я буду очень признателен.
Заранее спасибо!!!!!
When I measured the transmission dipstick, I found the total inserted length (below the flange) to be 25-7/8 inches. That's around 657.225 millimeters.
Here, click this link to see the pictures/drawings I made showing the measurements I took a few years ago - forums.nicoclub.com/psa-missing-transmission-fluid-dipstick-vk45de-t621370.html
Also, I wanted to remind you that the transmission needs to be measured "hot". If you measure it cold, all the fluid is in the pan, and the dipstick will seem too full.
Look at these 2 videos I made some time back. See if you can follow them:
1. czcams.com/video/QR1AV_jVxA8/video.html
2. czcams.com/video/XqIP3pISbnQ/video.html
I don't know if you have access to the factory service manuals, but if you send me an email, I will send you the autimatic transmission manual and I can tell you the page to look for.

I just realized that my videos do not have translations or subtitles, but if you get a copy of the manual, you can translate the pages.
@@EdBwoy я все понял. Обязательно проверю как вы рекомендуете в видео!
@@EdBwoy все как вы и говорите! Я выдержал инструкции по уровню масла в акпп, и машина поехала лучше!!!!! Спасибо большое!
I've been trying to figure this out for months. Multiple air purges, leak checks, changed the cap, water pump changed, hoses changed, etc. I give up. I'm taking it into the shop. Hopefully, they don't rape me too bad.
you end up finding out what it was ? having the same issue on my g37 sedan 2013
My SKODA makes water sloshing noise from dashboard on ignition for 3/4 seconds and normal thereafter
No other issues in the car bought just three months back done 3k kms
Probable reason and remedy please
having the same issue on my 2019 toyota camry
@@adilpervez7907 did u find any solution to it .. or got it checked at service centre
@@adilpervez7907 any diagnosis of the problem
This was a great vid ima try this on my delica
What the problem the radiator cap ?
That was the initial problem. And I thought I solved it, but I have noticed that after going on long trips, days later the sloshing sounds start again.
There might be something else that wasn't immediately obvious.
@@EdBwoy oh wow I have the same issue on my g37 the coolant over flow to reservoir but not going back to radiator still try to fix it
Wild, with the old Radiator car, my coolant was in between the min and max... i installed a new OEM cap today after i drove for like 25 minutes, i checked the reservoir and it was a little above the max level. I iwll keep an eye on out it and check to see if the radiator is full.
Any update?
@@Prime-nf5yy I installed new Thermostat and Radiator cap and bled the coolant. After the first drive i was above the max line again, so i siphoned off the reservoir coolant and put into the radiator, i then removed coolant where it was a little above the Min level. After letting the car rest overnight int he freezing cold in nyc and checking today, i noticed the coolant was way below the Min level, so i added some extra coolant. The idea is when i drive and the car is hot i want it to HIT the max line and only the max line, so i followed EdBwoys advice in the second video. i am not driving today so i'll check tomorrow again. So far, so good. Positive thoughts.
@@DTUFINOPhotography i see. I have a similar problem with sloshing noise when the car moving. I have the new radiator cap and a new thermostat, but the coolant in the reservior is buliding up and not getting back to the radiator when the car is cold. I'm gonna try not to drive the car for 12 hours and hopefully the coolant reservior go back radiator. If not, i have to extract the coolant from the reservior and add it to the radiator and drive it to the mechanic.
@@Prime-nf5yy my car was not over heating at all, but i did get a new cap and thermostat just in case to prevent that from happening, I say top off the radiator and then remove some coolant from the reservoir and put it in a water bottle in your car... and then drive it and when its hot, check the level in the reservoir and then top it off if you need to. this is how I'm gaging. i think i may have too much coolant in the system because when its hot, it should hit MAX line and when its cold it should go down a bit. I'm still checking out and caring a large Syringe to remove and some. Dont take it to a mechanic yet, they will say you have a blow head gasget.
@@DTUFINOPhotography I see... my car is not overheating too. My average temp is 184F using my OBD while driving for 15-20 minutes. My reservoir is different. Coolant should be between low and full. Once it near full or over the full line, that's when I started to extract the coolant from the reservoir and store it on water bottle so I can use it to re-fill up the radiator when the engine is cold.
To confirm, you want me to fill up the radiator first then extract any excessive amount from the radiator reservoir and put it in the water bottle?
I have this problem where I hear the sloshing sound, but even when the vehicle is turned off yet still warm. It overheated the other day and now that I've diagnosed to the problem, it still seems to be overheating. Having a hard time understanding what the problem is, but this lashing sound I've heard many times before.
check your radiator fans or cooling fans if they are running properly.
Keep us posted for sloshing sounds
I will be digging into it again. It survived many months then the sloshing began again
Found the culprit - wrong thermostat!
Would this cause the heater in your car to quit working?
