I think my 3 week old vrs tsi has an issue.

Under acceleration there is a lot of steam and mist coming from out of the exhausts and misting up the back window.

Also I think the coolant has started dropping slightly.

It doesn't steam under normal driving just heavy acceleration.

It's a bit embarrassing when you boot it.

Should I be concerned ?

Cheers.

Steve.

Cheers for that.

I've just been out on a run and it was doing it again.

When I got back I checked the coolant level and it looked a bit low so out of interest I took the coolant reservoir cap off and there was a bit of bubbling and the level has now gone up to over max ?

Don't remove the cap when the engine's hot. apart from the risk of scalding yourself, the system pressurises itself when hot and removing the cap allows the pressure to reduce by filling up the expansion tank - the nearest point to the outside atmosphere. False readings and all that.
