Heat from under the car...
« on: 19 June 2007, 18:37:48 »
Stupid question possibly...I've noticed in last coupla days that when I've been for a drive and stop the car, when I get out, there is a lot of heat apparently coming from under the car and blowing around my legs. It feels like hair dryer type temperature, and I've never noticed it before. The car is running fine, temp gauge looks fine. Sometimes the electric fan is still turning but that stops after a few secs. The outside temps have been quite high recently but nothing different than in past weeks.

Is it normal?

yes, the V6 gives off a lot of heat, the warm air is caused by the engine cooling fans running - they'll normally cut out a few seconds after you've parked up.
