Why does my car make a running water sound?
Why does my car make a running water sound?
I’ve recently noticed that when this “running water” sound occurs that it is more prominent when the engine is running faster (e.g. during acceleration).
Why does my car make a sloshing sound when I accelerate?
@JimFell I think you’re associating the increased prominence of the sound with the wrong trigger. As you said, under normal circumstances, your car is accelerating when the engine is running faster. When there is water in a container, and that container experiences acceleration, inertia will cause the water to move around within the container.
Why does my car make a gurgling noise when I shut it off?
Gurgling When the Engine is Shut Off: Engine oil is circulated throughout the engine when is running. When the engine is shut of this oil which is located in the cylinder head will drain down and back into the oil pan. This is normal and should not be thought as a problem. Got Any Questions?
What can I do about the sloshing sound under the dash?
The best system I know of is to park on a steep grade with the front of the car facing upward, then let the engine run with the radiator cap off. Squeezing the hoses, especially the hoses near the back of the engine compartment that go to the heater core, and varying the throttle can help. You should get bubbles coming up the top of the radiator.
How does the cooling system work on a Ford Explorer?
Your Explorer’s cooling system works by cycling the engine coolant from the engine through the radiator. The water pump pushes the water through the entire system. The thermostat opens up once the engine reaches operating temperature and allows coolant in. If any part of this system fails, your Explorer will eventually overheat.

What are the symptoms of a Ford Explorer overheating?
Your Explorer will be equipped with a temperature warning light and/or a temperature gauge. The most common symptom of overheating is the temperature light coming on. If this light does come on, make sure that you get off the road quickly and safely. Driving while overheating can cause long term engine damage. 2. White Smoke
