Hi there, i got a 04 1.8 Td4 se (well, the wife has).
She's just told me that she's noticed, a couple of times, over the past few weeks that there has been a short, 15-20 second burst of smoke/steam from the passenger side of the engine bay when she has stopped the vehicle and turned the engine OFF. No visible smoke/steam when the engine running.
I've asked the relevant questions.
Temperature guage ? = Ok, i use the vehicle myself often, no probs.
How often ? = Every now and then !
Not losing oil or water from the expansion bay.
Could this be a purst of pressure release or maybe some water burning on the engine or manifold or is it a trip to good old Mick-anic ??
Thank for any help people.
