Had my S3 about 6 months, drove this morning 30 miles on motorway parked up got out, heard the aux pump going as usual and this goes for about 1 min and then shuts down ... about 1 min later heard all that I can describe as a running water sound, bit like washing machine emptying its pipes, went on for about 10 - 20 sec or so ... never heard this noise before any ideas anyone ? I had not had the aircon on by the way.
 
Air in your coolant system.

Or it's dumped all your coolant on the floor ;)

Checked your coolant level lately?
 
Yes I check it every week ... and I have the level sitting above the max mark about one fingers width as per the bulletin, I'll check today to see what its like before I drive it ... its in a garage so if anything on the floor I will see it I would have thought ....
 
You should check it now while it's still hot, and then cold later.
 
Well I parked up about hour ago now so don't suppose it will make any difference if I check in couple hours ?
 
The moment has passed ......

It was probably objecting to all the foul language you were using in the car on your journey this morning :p
 
So I checked the level and no different still about 10 mm above the full level, so hope all OK then
