JordanC Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi guys, Hoping someone can help me out as to what this could be. I noticed this earlier after driving to work and I have noticed it before after getting out of the car at home. It sounds like liquid dripping somewhere, I've checked under the car for oil etc and cant find anything, checked in the bay for any signs and nothing. It's like I stop, turn the engine off, get out and I can hear liquid dripping somewhere, it's not REALLY loud but I can hear it after stopping. Also, the car is smoking like crazy in this cold weather, if i'm parked up somewhere with the engine running, the amount of white smoke coming from the exhaust is like im trying to gas someone! I haven't noticed any ill effects as a result of either of these, any ideas?? It's a 94 TT Auto, done about 90k (mixed KM and miles), had a major service from Whifbitz in September.

Rummy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 White smoke Sounds like condensation to me. If not, maybe coolant. As for the liquid noise it's probably the expanding coolant returning to the rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The charcoal cannister on the right makes simular noises when you turn the engine off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be condensation running off the evaporator if you have had the a/c running. Tell tail sign would be a water puddle under the car. Clear distilled type pure water. The higher the ambient remperature and humidity the more condensation there will be - so not usually that noticable in winter except on milder days.
