Drove my 190d today for the first time in almost 3 months. I took it for MOT, which it failed, but that's another story. I was concerned to see steam coming out of the vents in the dash, and also steam clouding up inside the instrument binnacle. Havent had time to investigate yet, but Im assuming it will be cooling system / heater matrix related. Anyone had similar previously ? |
