    Water sloshing noise? Are you sure it's not the window washer fluid?

    You may have a blocked sill/rocker drain. A friend of mine once owned a Rover that did this, it turned out the sills were holding gallons of water. The stereophonic water sloshing sounds were interesting while driving.
    Not sure why on yours it would only occur after 10km though, it might collect while sitting and first need some dispersion for it to become noticeable.
    Do also a test with a full fuel tank.

    Are you running the air conditioning when this is happening? Possibly a clogged drain with condensation building up and that's why the delay in occurrence.

    Maybe you can get a buddy to hang off that side of your car and listen while you drive after 10 km? Oh wait, that would totally mess up the handling of your car. My bad, forget it. :D

    Seriously though, here's another possibility - I wonder if the "water" may actually be inside the door.

    If you live in a rainy area, water may have accumulated inside the door if the drain holes along the bottom become plugged for some reason. When you drive that first 10 km the braking forces that you apply may by momentum thrust the water into a forward space inside the door when the car comes to a stop. The water then sloshes around until it leaks out or back into the rear of the door.

    Here's a diagram from Ricambi America website showing the door panels. Notice items 18 and 19 refer to rear and front water shields.

    There are hydraulic lines which run under the drivers area.
    They do produce some sound. Ferrari made a couple of modifications to both the software and the lines themselves to minimize the sound.

    I would bring the car into your service center and ask them to look into it.

    Yes it may cost some money, but then it may solve your problems and then you can get back to enjoying your car to the fullest!

    Hi guys that's for getting back, I have talk to few people about this and most of them said this could be water is stuck somewhere. If someone can send me picture of drain holes on the doors etc I can clear them out to check any water stuck there. Only problem I'm having is why this only happen when car get heated after driving for 10-15min not straight away.

    Yes I tried with aircon off and still getting the notice. Sometime it's like I'm next to a waterfall. I can clearly hear this when break slowly to stop the car and acceralate the car again

    Please help
