98 1.5D - Can hear water while driving - clara211
Hi

I can hear a lot of water running around in my car when I'm driving. It sounds as if a large amount of water is rushing from the front of the car to the back and vice versa depending on whether i'm reversing / going forward/ going up or down a hill.

Is this normal? If not, what could it be?

Check the drain points under the door sills; if they block, the sills can fill with water - particularly if you have a sunroof.

The bottoms of doors can also fill with rainwater, so check their drain holes too.
