burning hot fenders...
So i was out for a coffee with a buddy, and i leaned onto my car and i was kinda shocked at the heat when i made contact with my car.
basically car was driven about 20 minutes, and the fender area where it meets the bumper is VERY HOT! almost burning hot!
anyone else notice this? or time to let the dealer have a look?

Today was like 28 degrees celcius or something. I tried changing my eyelid bulbs... man the engine is hot, you put your face in and its like burning warm in there haha. I think inline 6s run hotter though, my w124 would be like 110 degrees C in hot weather at times especially stuck in traffic =\

The variable speed electric cooling fan in our W204's is controlled by the main brain and speeds up when the water temp rises. It's also effected by the AC.
