Steam/smoke Spotted

Recommended Posts

Hi, i have just done a engine swap on my 1.9 295 gti , and just put another 1.9 8v in. Ive taken it out tonight (freezing cold) and when it was left ticking over i saw some steam/smoke rise from the radiator. Is this usual due to it being so cold, or is there a chance i was a little oil on the rad or similar. My scare as that the fans didnt kick in and it ran warm, however upon driving the car home i had no further issues.

keep an eye on the coolant level. You might have a small hole in the rad.

If not it could be condensation evaporating.
