    Hi all. Ive started to see a lot of steam coming from the grille and bonnet vent. Assume its just the weather but does anyone else have experience of this or any tips to prevent because it doesnt look good and gets me a bit paranoid. Also quite embarassing when stopped at the lights and it looks like the cars overheating. Temp gauge never moves and its not losing any coolant.

    It'd be worth checking the temps via the OBD port, the temp gauge is pointless
