is anyone else getting alot of steam coming out from under their bonnets with the cold weather?i cant remember it bein so bad last year.is there anythin that could cause this out of the ordinary?
dont think so mate cos thats what i thought it was to start with but if i lift the bonnet theres nothin noticable..its wierd like i was startin to think its heat off my headlights
I've had it very occasionally but only when its raining, I guessed it was just water eveporating off something hot(radiator?). At the time I checked under the bonnet and there was nothing obvious, water level is fine etc and its been ok for a year after I first noticed it.
I think i have seen a bit of water vapourising whilst stopped. Only in rain though. As Howard said it could be off the radiator. Is there water in your head lights?
Check the engine bay for leaks with the engine running, look under the car etc. If you truly believe you are seeing steam from your engine bay it could be hot coolant hitting the road whilst you are stationary.
hoping i get money off it but just waiting to see...the guy said it needs a radiator,a hose,all the clips and seals,3 and a half hours labour and coolant
lol it was 3 n a half hours aluco..iv been told its 150odd for the rad and 80odd for the hose..goes in on wed so il just need to wait n see what the bill ends up
the guy told me 420 but my brother went in to the same guy a couple of weeks ago and he took money off it for my brother so hopin he does the same for me due to my dad bringin him in alot of business from taxi companies etc
