strange noice from the front of the car (engine area)

[porsche356]

Hi,

Not quite sure how to describe this one. When the engine of my 2003 TT is on temperature there is a sound coming from the engine which can be best described a somebody under the hood drinking a bottle with a straw and the bottle is nearly empty (yes, I know for sure that it is not the fuel tank :-)!!)

Could it be the bearings of the waterpump? Not sure whether this could cause the problem?

Help is again highly appreciated.

Thanks, frank

Yes water pump sounds most likely, quite common

I second the water pump, easy to change out yourself if your even a little handy as a DIY
