Can't be heard at idle but anything off idle to 3k it sounds like a faucet running water near the glovebox. Nothing is leaking anywhere, no overheating problems, everything is normal.



Is the water pump going bad? Maybe the pump is bad and is cavitating the coolant making the running water sound? Coolant pressure cap not holding pressure?



Any ideas?

Have you changed/flushed your rad lately? Alot of times when you get air in the system that's what it sounds like. Wait until the car's cool and check the coolant level. Make sure to get all the air out and the noise should go away.

I think he maybe.. lol

Are you under boost? Cause the CRV will be making a flushing sound if you're like light + throttle... The BOV will release pressure under light throttle too...

You need to bleed the air out of your coolant system. That is the sound of bubbles going through your heater core.

Come on now give me a little credit...it ain't the goddamn turbos:)



It sounds like bubbles in the heater core, but I haven't done anything to get air into the system. Haven't changed coolant or anything.



What gives?

Hmm... I never reallized you'd be able to hear the bubbles in the heater core..... The 3K thing you mentioned was what lead everyone to the turbos thing...





Tell ya what...

I said 3k because after that the exhaust is too ******* loud to hear the bubbles.



You can lick her ass...after me. I don't know who she is.

I've noticed that it sometimes happens to my car in the morinings. I figure that the coolant, having cooled from the last time the car was driven, ccompressed some in those out of the way places. And once the car warms up, and the coolant expands again, the noise goes away. Just a thought.
