Hot to the touch
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 2:47 pm
Hello
ive owned an FTO for a couple of months now and im just starting to get into the running and operations of it
I may be just being paranoid, but after a half hour run when i put my hand on the bonnet it is hot to touch (any hotter and you would have to remove your hand after a few seconds)
Is this normal - my gauges are saying the temp is ok
What drew my attention to it was a hot metal smell but after reading other threads this is down to timing belt, seals and oil changes i have just had done
Your advise would be appreciated
Thanks
