I have just had a new trans and radiator installed in my 03 XR6T. It still seems to run hot (engine) and it sure is a lot hotter under the bonnet when I check. I am comparing it to my wifes BA XT. Does the Turbo normally run hotter than the XT?I thought they would have built them to show the same on the temp guage. Mine sits about between 1/4 and 1/2 mark on the guage ( engine temp guage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
