Temperature
« on: 03 November 2007, 14:47 »
Quick question, my engine is showing as 90 which seems pretty hot to me

When I turn the car off, some steam comes through the grill just under the bonnet

Something is wrong but what I don't know!? Any ideas?

I'm taking it to VW anyway Friday so I'll get them to do both at the same time.............. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Mine runs at 90. Only time I get steam is when it rains or from the jet wash.

Its meant to run at 90, are you sure its steam and not smoke?

You might have some sort of leak somewhere inside which is causing the steam.
