   Afternoon all
   
   I'm after a little advice. I did an autotest yesterday in my sax (1.6 VTS) and on the way home I noticed a gurgling / sloshing noise coming from the engine bay. I have just been out to have a quick look and it sounds as if it is coming from under the battery somewhere. It happens when driving and on tickover.
   
   All the oil / water levels are correct and the dials are not showing any over heating problems, the fan was also cutting in correctly when I had it running outside.
   
   Does anyone have any idea of what it could be and if it will cause a problem? I only noticed it yesterday and have never heard it on any other autotest.
   
   Cheers.

   change the coolant and bleed it properly. After that's done, check that your heating is working properly.
