Hi,

I did notice it. It could be a few different things. By chance, is there an odor associated with it? I ask because it could be a brake that is hanging up.

The next time you drive a distance, when you park, get out and see if there is excessive heat coming from that wheel. You can compare it with the driver's side of the vehicle to see if it is hotter.

Next, check to make sure the coolant level isn't dropping. You may have a coolant leak and you are seeing steam. The water pump will be on that side and low in the engine compartment, so it is very possible for steam to come out like that.

Let me know what you find.

Then I was at the service and they looked at the problems you have say to me as an idea that they could have, but no problem was there and at the service they suspect that the particle filter is the broken sensor and after a while it fills up and then explodes and comes out of the side right, but it is not yet known for sure, since the sensor has not been changed, I am still trying it if it is going to fix , if you have any other idea, what can be done, I am waiting for you.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with what they are referring to. Is there any odor associated with the smoke? Do you notice anything odd while driving?

Let me know.

Hi,

Thanks for the video. Now it makes sense. I agree with what they are telling you. It does appear to be the issue. Have they provided you with a repair option?
