Strange sound
From inside the car, I can hear what sounds like waves on a beach, a kind of whooshing noise every 5-10 seconds it's quite faint but loud enough to hear below 40mph. Any idea what this is?
I'm not worried, just wonder what it is.

Hi Leo,
I get a sloshing noise from the rear of my car (like water flowing through a tube) right after firing up the engine. It stays like that for a few minutes before it subsides.
Now, I always thought it was the oil pumping through the pipes, but it’s just a guess.

Definetely not the oil which I can hear to my right, gurgling away especially when I've just started up. This noise carries on when the car is warm.
Andy, your suggestion sounds the most feasible, although I get the sound when the fan is in the off position (no air-con on my car). It seems to be coming from the middle of the dash although is hard to pin down.
