I have a 03 maxima with 109.000 miles on it.. Car runs good but i have one problem. At times when i accerlate i hear a bubbly sound... Its sounds like water. I have read other threads any others have suspected that a radiator flush would help. So this weekend thats exactly what i did,,,
Drained, flushed,,, rinse and refill. i let the car warm up to normal temp while accelerating... Its not as loud as it was before but it is only 2 days so if i can hear it still, im pretty sure that loudnest will return.
I use 93 and im up to par with my car...
put car on scanner nothing shows up...
ANy ideas, ?
or did i do something wrong with the flush..

 

there is air in there...purge your hoses and radiator of air...its a common issue

I had a sloshing water noise when I would take off from a stop and when I came to a stop. Turns out...my side skirts are retaining water.

 

Now that's funny.

 

there is your answer op lol check that

 

I had that problem, mine was water in the trunk down the side where the jack is

 

is your core heater...........try to diconecct the two hoses the ones are coneccted to the firewall and flushed with a hose garden and cleand warer let it run the warer for 5 mins and conect the hoses back and turn the car wait 10 mins and add some antifrezze this will take the bubles out off your core and the noise gone good luck

 

im not understanding u very well... Warer???? what is that??

 

I think he means water. And by his explanation, it sounds like he's trying to flush the system. Beats me.

 

yeah water im sorry and you just have to flush the core heater not the all system good luck

 

if you want to purge the air you have to make sure the engine is hot and the t-stat is open or you are wasting your time. Make sure there is warm air coming from the heat vents while the cap is open.
Take the cap off first then let it warm up. Not the other way around

 

Check your spare tire well ... sloshing water sounds usually come from there.

 

U say make sure the T-stat is open,,, Im lost there... How do u open that???
