   i went today to test drive a VTS saxo and when i started it up i could hear what sounded like running water behind the dash. the floors were dry and engine ran sweet as a nut.
   i really liked the car and this is the only one thing bugging me, can anyone share any light on this?

   does the VTS have the same bleed nipple just behind the engine mount as a VTR?

   Does it have aircon?
   
   If it lacks refrigiant it can also cause water like sounds from the heaters...

   i didnt buy it in the end. bought a nice phase 2 vtr with a good spec.
   i wanted this phase one, but when i called him back the day after he didnt answer, i called a couple times throughout the day but i kept getting busy toned, so guess he sold it
