I had been driving the car fine, not ragging but a good pace. Was racing around getting food for a BBQ. Anway was at the supermarket, run round got my stuff, back in the car pulled away and then suddenly this horrid hissing noise!
Errr, WTF. Then Steam rose from the bonnet right infront of the me so closest too me. I immediately reversed the car put it back in a spot and turned off the engine. Now I did not noticed any lights, maybe cos I switched the car off so quick and panicked.
Opened the bonnet, nothing! Looked at the corner by the drivers side light, looked like a bit of oil but its not a mess. Coolant level looked fine. Started the car again, revved the engine.....all fine.
Got in, drove it a few metres to homebase and fine. Finished in homebase, drove back home over the dual carriageway and accelerated softly and fine. Drove the car again this morning and......yep.....fine.
Now what should I do? Do I ignore this? Take it to the garage and say hey take a look for me pls. Not to generalise here but I tend to find mechanics there more robots than anything else, they plug it in to see any problems than really understand. That may be a bit harsh but that is how I feel, god they couldn't even reprogram my radio correctly I had to do it. I checked the aircon this morning that seemed ok, will check again on my way home to be sure.
My final question, has anyone else had this problem?
I'm starting to worry a bit now. Car is in it's third and final year of warranty. Had a couple of motors go in the headlights, fog light issues, gearbox mount and now possibly another problem. I love the car I really do, great fun and I could spend money on it but I am trying to save and I'm getting to the point now thinking should I say goodbye? Oh I don't know.
Anyway guys, your thoughts as always are appreciated!
