Steam..A lot of it!

[Joz]

Okeei, I have got no clue what just happend;

My gti was just standing in someone driveway, its a bit steep if that matters, and suddenly while idling it came a "poooooof" and a lot of steam came out from under the bonnet.
I rekon it was the G12 coolant, since it was some liquid around it afterwards. The car was fine.. I drove it for like 2 more hours, just refilling a bit of coolant seemed to do the trick.

Why did it happen? Should I take it to a mechanic?

Cheers guys!

Check the cooling fans ? When I got mine they wer not connected and this happend at santa pod while we was say in the car keeping warm . Worth a check

[Joz]

So what is the fix if that is the case?

(and thanks for the quick reply )

[Joz]

That was indeed the prob..

[lukey GTI]

You fixed it now. ? Was it unplugged ? Mine has been fine ever since no problems

[Joz]

Well, not fixed, more figured out :p

The fans, yes both, don't turn at all. After a drive with aircon on, nothing..

Where can I check if they are unplugged? And anything else I can look for?

I just took mine to the garage mate sorry if you have a look you may be able to see the connection I'd go look but am in bed haha . . Maybe just clean the connections . And see if it works then . I drove 2 hours back from where I was when it happend And it did not over heat they seem to cool when driving just don't stand still for a long time till you sort it

Yep, mine is fine while driving too. Will get it fixed asap.

Thanks a lot for the reply mate!!!
