Exhaust steam in cold weather
Hi all,
just a quick observation and question on that observation! when it's cold outside (quite a lot in the UK!) I've noticed that my 4 e-hybrid kicks out a lot of steam from the exhausts compared to other vehicles on the road when the car is stationary, i.e. at roundabouts etc.
obviously, this is only visible if the engine has just turned on and not fully warmed up yet as when that happens I'm normally in hybrid mode and the petrol engine has turned off when I'm waiting at lights/roundabouts.
anyone else notice this or is it just me.
