Hi All,

I've got a 2010 320 msport diesel for work with 140000 miles on clock.

Just recently when stuck in traffic, i've started to see whiffs of steam coming from radiator.

The water pump was replaced at MOT / service in June and then I noticed the whisps.

Its been back to local garage where they checked everything out including cylinder head gasket and was told that there was an air lock when they sorted but it is still happeneing.

There is no loss of coolant or anything and it does not matter whether i'm driving from Falkirk to Bristol or Falkirk to Glasgow as soon as I get stuck in traffic you seam steam coming from front.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andy

Are you sure this is not condensation or when it's damp out? I get this out the e60 on occasions and it's normally when its damp and it's just steam coming off the outside of the rad.
