With a quick disconnect tool. Your local auto parts store has them and they are not expensive.
YES. You need a special tool to remove the quick disconnect hose.
That is called a quick disconnect fitting and it requires a SPECIAL tool to get it loose.
That is engine coolant rushing through the heater core. Things to check. Engine coolant level in radiator and if it's not low then the only thing left is the heater hose quick disconnect fitting in the intake. There is suppose to be a small plastic water restricter down in the bottom of the quick disconnect fitting that is designed to slow the water up before it goes through the heater core. If that restricter is gone then replace the quick disconnect fitting.
Purchase an inexpensive set of quick-disconnect tools from your local auto parts store.
You will need to replace the quick disconnect fitting and it is best to use a steel one.
A braided 3/4" stainless steel hose can be installed on cold and hot water line for a quicker disconnect.
Easy use a quick disconnect tool or a small screwdriver
Drain the engine cooling system. Disconnect the battery ground cable. Disconnect the quick disconnect heater hose couplings at the heater core. This requires a special tool that is available from some auto parts stores. Remove the engine cover. Remove the instrument panel finish panel at the passenger's end of the dash where you would find a glove box if there were one. Remove the heater core cover which is held on with seven screws. Remove the heater core. Installation To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Heater core its air bubbles in the lines when the motor starts the water pump starts circulating Check your radiator coolant level NEW ANSWER: Yes he is right. But you need to check the heater hose quick disconnect that is screwed into either the front left side of the intake or rear left side of the intake. This will be you standing in the front of the engine. The disconnect has a small plastic piece down towards the bottom inside of it that SLOWS the water down before it inters the heater core and that stops the sloshing sound that you hear. Replace the quick disconnect fitting in the intake / The one that the heater hose hooks to. If it was low on coolant and you filled it and the noise is gone then don't worry about what I said.
buy a fuel Quick disconnect tool. They make cheap plastic ones, and slightly more expensive metal ones
