Abbielouise Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Whenever it is raining I get a lot of steam coming off the bonnet, I’ve had black cars before and this has never happened? IMG_0664.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I've never heard of seen this before. What's the engine temperature when this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the engine temperature when this is happening? 90 degrees, it’s never overheated just happens if every time it rains and when on the motorway it’s hard to see over the steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coupe4 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 its very odd,it would definitely be worth getting checked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'd definitely be getting this checked out. The only thing I can think of, has your A1 ever had a replacement bonnet at some point? I'm wondering if it has an aftermarket bonnet which is of a thinner metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
