Noisy I4 DOHC 2.0 16V
I have an RS2000 with the standard I4 2 litre engine.
It has covered just under 82K and there is a funny nosiy that can be heard from inside the car when it is started up and running.
Basically the noise can best be described as similar to water running through a pipe. The expansion bottle is reading the correct level and the car is not overheating.
There is no water or anything left when the car is left standing and I cannot locate any leaks.
I am wondering if it could be air rather than water, and if so where is it likely to be coming from...
Someone pleeeeeeease help.

Thanks, Just read all that and it seems that it could either be a feature of the engine or a head gasket going.....
A few tricks to try first and if no joy then it might be a trip to the local garage to get it checked over.
Can't afford to have the HG go

Sounds like the problem I have, my mechanic thinks it gas leaking through the head gasket to the coolant. It's gotten worse the last month and I'm loosing one liter of coolant for each 1000 km - maybe because the pressure pushes the coolant out of the expansion tank cap. I can smell the coolant after a drive but I can't locate the leak.

head gaskets are easy enough to do, but i'd put aside a day to get everything nice and sorted
the hardest part was the timing, but you might as well put a new chain and stuff on there as well as tensioner blades and the like which should only set you back roughly £160 all in
