hi i own a Toyota Altezza RS200 Z ED (IS200) i'm having a problem with an annoying sound coming from the car, it a a strange watery type noise i hear when i turn on the engine and it gets louder sometimes when i rev the car. the sound sounds like it's coming from the front somewhere in the dash or engine bay. i took it to a mechanic to have a look and he said its the water pipes for the air conditioning making the sound. but when i first got the car that sound was not there i was wondering if anyone would know what that sound means and if there is a problem. or can anyone give me some advice how to get rid of that annoying sound

Hi lad,

I am having the same problem in that i hear a noise coming from behind the glove compartment. This only happens when the engine is cold. I think its the pipes warming up. BUT if anyone is having any other ideas in relation to this please help. When im in traffic and turn the radio down i get a slight noise from the dash. But it goes after a while.

First, change the subject of this thread to something that reflects it's contents - "Watery sound from behind dash" perhaps. This way you're likely to attract the attention of people who can help or who are interested.

Okay, now, I hear this noise too. I've always just figured it was the air conditioning system working away. Never assumed it was a problem. Will be interesting to hear other people's thoughts on this.
