Default no steam and I only had a smell in the heat of the summer and the coolant loss was very

small but once you look at the radiators you see the residue.

Default thnx...going in for service tomorrow, I'll 'remind' the advisor. She said...

if there's just an odor, nothing can be done. I'll give it a visual before I get there for unusual deposits. Thnx again.

Gave it a close look-see, no deposits of any sort anywhere, clean as new.

Default How many miles are on your car? You are probably due for a belt change

and when you do that take a good look while the bumpers are off. I bet you see some deposits in the fins.

Default yup, that's all. Most of the mileage driving to/from ACNA track events. Btw...

just came back from Audi annual service, told them to check out the hot ant-freeze odor by front grille...nothing, can't help. No surprises I guess, eh.
