Default Urgent help

As i mentioned earlier in the "coolant????" thread, i hear the water try to make it through the pipes on the pessanger side and i hear it all the way when i hit the gas and its in the first gear. I talked to the dealer over the phone and says they will charge me to look at it and charge me if they have to do the coolant service ? I dont think this is right becaue i have warranty on this and this not something that i havent cared about. air could be there and they have to fix it under the warranty right !!!. Any advise ????

If you have warranty, take the **** to the dealer and call it a day. If they refuse it, take it to another.

It depends if the problem is warranty related or not. If it's not they'll have to charge you for it and that's what he's saying. Did you touch the cooling system? or is this something that happened on its own?

i hope this has to do something with the system. how can the cooling system get the air in it ? (if thats the problem). i havent touched anything. and this is not normal i believe.

It can't unless it has a leak in there somewhere but if it does it should be peeing out coolant when it's warm somewhere... If it doesn't it could be a faulty rad cap.

ok let me explain the problemagain, sorry for not giving a good explaination. When i start the car and hit the gas (its in the first gear), i hear the water try to make it through the pipe on the glove compartment side. and this goes away as soon as i change the gear. i thought that this could be only for the first time but everytime i start driving in the first gear. i hear water moves from those pipes. there is no water leaking or anything. what could it be ?

It sounds like the coolant flowing into your heater core, but there shouldn't be any air in the system...if there is and it doesn't leak externally on the ground, then I would suspect the rad cap. Wait till your car has completely cooled off like over night or something, then come out and check your coolant by removing the rad cap before you start the car. The coolant should be up full in the rad but if it's low in the rad, and there's still coolant in the overflow bottle, the cap is faulty.
