last week i came home and parked my ibiza fr tdi and was just sat in it for about 10 minutes and noticed an unusual noise and smoke coming through the front grille? it was sort of like a steamey smoke, dont have a clue were it came from? i turned the engine off and turned it back on and it was normal? funny thing is, the exact same thing happened to my friend and he has a polo 1.9 tdi, this has happened to me about 4 times now, it happens when i drive and then park up and the car is idle and then it happens, i dont have a clue where the smoke comes from, just near the front end where the battry is and radiator.
