Sloshing sound
Hi all, car running fine now apart from the fact that the heater is very very slow to warm up and there is a sloshing sound of water which seems to be coming from centre/underneath Any suggestions as to how this can be fixed welcome.

Check your plenum or if it's a sort of "whale whoop" sound, probably need a regas

So just to be sure, you need to run the Trip Screen Diagnostics to check the running temperature. See section 7 here: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=55585 If the correct running temperature is confirmed, then the heater matrix may need a flush/descale. Simplest first step is to disconnect the heater supply hoses from the engine and back-flush the matrix by fitting a hosepipe to the outlet hose and giving it a blast through. Reconnect everything and check for improvement. TC Last edited by T-Cut; 19th January 2019 at 19:54.. |

If the matrix is blocked, it may be due to all the Steel Seal added to the engine previously

When I 1st got my zt. 1800 k series.
I used to on 1st start up get a gurgling noise from the heater when cold. Was suffering coolant loss and emulsification of the oil. Also poor heater output. Changed the head gasket and a good few flush through of the cooling system and all fixed. Not used a drop of coolant (blue not oat) and a toasty heater for nearly 2 years now. Could it possibly be head gasket failing? Why was steel seal added in the 1st place?
