Hello to All,

Is our Xa overheating or not,..

It has unusual HOT SPOT on the engine hood ( RIGHT & LEFT ) sides.

Location: is where the front (RIGHT & LEFT) fenders are on the TOP part of

headlights meet the hood next to the fenders.

OBSERVATION: Touched the middle of the Hood ( found it COOL )
Touched the sides of the Hood above the Headlights on LEFT & RIGHT Sides ( found both are HOT )

Xa was driven about 10 miles in heavy traffic. She smelled burned from the front of car

I got home Checked the OIL , Tranny Fluid, Coolant ... everything well. and noticed the extra heat.

IS THIS NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS... also no engine overheat light was on .
Will be taken to service tomorrow .. I'll keep you posted.

how old is the car? how many miles are logged on to the engine.. It could be the dressing they put in the engine bay. I wouldnt worry too much about it. It is a Toyota!
