Sound of liquid moving about behind passenger airbag

[davewgarden]

Hi,
I have no idea what this noise is, but when i set off (sometimes when i just start the engine) I can hear a noise that i can only describe as liqiud shifting about coming from behind the passenger airbag (It may even be in the engine bay on the passenger side).

Anyone any idea what this is and if it is normal or not?

Cheers

I'm sure there is more on this on MINI2, but this is one quite large thread I managed to search out (www.mini2.com/forum/search.php)...

Might be helpful.

Mine does it, I guess its the heater matrix filling with water from the engine, but you'd have to read the thread to confirm....
