Scirocco Register

Hi all.

I have just woken Redrum from its winter slumber and Im glad to say the car started and ran very well (as usual)

However, when I opened the bonnet I noticed there was steam or smoke coming from the radiator. It was not much but it was enough to worry me a bit. There was plenty of coolant in the reservoir so it has not leaked out or anything. I did notice the oil was a bit low too but that has not leaked either as there was no oil on the floor in the garage. Im sure this is not related though - it must have burnt it last year at some point I reckon.

Should I worry?

I'd say it's likely to be condensation on the rad evaporating off if its been stood for that long. So I wouldn't worry if coolant levels appear normal. :)

watch the situation develop ;)

Cool, pretty much as I thought.

RR is back on the road at the end of the month so I will take it for a long blast and see what the levels are after that.

Thanks chaps

if the rad is only weeping, you will probably see white furry stuff appearing were the leak is. check round all hose connections for white furr too
