turbodreams Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 hey folks,what are signs of the engine overheating or burning oil. i drove home from work today, and noticed the bonnet was overly warm to touch, and there was almost like a burning smell, but i could be completely wrong or just paranoid.The gauge showing oil temp sits halfway. what should i be checking etc.cheers for any help.

Asad Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 coolant level ok? unusual smoke? oil level ok? drive ok? water temp gauge at halfway?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbodreams Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Everything seems fine but the turbo is absolutely roasting hot. I gave it a very short blast and the heat around that area was pretty dang hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
