Steam coming from front grill

Post by Zeebuilder » Fri Nov 27, 2015 8:04 pm

Recently I have noticed steam coming from front near side grill in bumper when I've stopped. Always in wet weather and I expect residule water from wet roads being fried off on Rads but wondered if anyone else noticed the same?

I get this with my B7. Used to happen mainly when sitting in traffic in the rain. Now happens more often with the aftermarket oil cooler in its higher mounted position.
