Noise: Water Rushing through pipes

I know that sounds ridicuious.... but this is exactly what I will describe as: Water (sounds like boiling water actually), rushing through the pipes from the back to the front of the engine when you apply the brakes to slow down. (usually from 3rd to 2nd and come to a complete stop)


and I mean it is really a LOUD FREAKING RUSHING WATER NOISE!!!


it usually happen after you rev high and the car heats up.... but it won't happen everytime you hit the brake. It is really really annoying.


I brought it back to the dealer (and of course that freaking noise wasn't there at the time I brough to the dealer) and all they say is because it is a turbo car, it's suppose to be hotter than regular protege. so the water actually rush in to cool down the car....


BUT, it maybe just :bs: , I really want your comments and input guys, I just want to know if this is something normal.


any comments!!! PLEASE?
 
I guess I got this "One of a kind" car...... with this weird/strange/annoying problem WAY INTERESTING THAN the clunking sway bar.....


:'( :mad:
 
dude, put the bong down while you're driving. its ******* up your train of thought. that and you won't see as many 30' blue bunnies running in front of your car

atleast they didn't try telling you it was your blinker fluid sloshing around

I know with mine, I would occassionally hear the vacuum in the brake booster when I would push the pedal, but I wouldn't call it loud. Odd..

How big does your (the techs) ass have to be to pull that line of bull out of it?
Let me guess it has a special water pump that suddenly speeds up in relation to the boost level.
What a total crock of s***.

Yeah that special uh..dumafachee that does that thang ya know with the water it goes real fast when you hit the gas..or eh I mean brakes.
 
bump***


can anyone give me some suggestion???? the problem (see 1st post) comes back once in a while and it's driving me nuts!!!! The noise getting louder sometimes esp. when you drive through the parking lots with bump and go really slow.

would it be the brakes itself? rotors? pipes leaking? shaft? i dunno.


I have visit the dealer several times during these 2/3 months but everytime the noise weren't there when we test drove it.



PLEASE HELP!!!! I am no mechanic so I can't guess what is happening......



any suggestion on possible related cause is appreciated!!!!!



help me help me please.....


I know I will be screwed if I take my car back to the dealer after I installed the turbo back.... since they will say my mods is causing problem. right now I am stock.
 
Just taking a shot in the dark here, but is your a/c on when this occurs? By the sounds of it some fluid is boiling.

If you want a second opinion, let me know as we live in the same town. Don't mind helping you figure out where the noise is coming from. Besides I can see your nice c/f hood up close!!:cool:
