Car Hood/Engine Still Hot

Hi Guys,

I have a new 2012 C250 and I noticed after I park it in my garage and check back in 2-3hours the car's hood/engine still feels pretty warm/hot. Is this normal? I checked the coolant and everything seems fine.

Thanks,

It must be a HOT car,.... make sure your ownership registration papers are in order.

You might want to ask them on the W204 forum,.... since that's what you have.

Tends to be normal from all the heat exerted from the engine.
