Guys,

Have you had this kind of stuff. The steam coming out of the grill is under pressure, but it comes out only after driving in heavy rain. MY16 1.8T

Thanks.

I'll bet it's just caught water that evaporates.
I get that with my bike all the time.

I was thinking the same. Given the fact, that the coolant level is ok, there shall be no other reasons. However, in order to be 100% sure i am kind of obliged to check.

Thanks

Probably just rain or road spray that has made its way onto the hot parts. The rad itself can get hot and evap water.

I've had this a couple of times, it's perfectly normal mate.
