Picked up our brand new
JCW Stage 1 tuned R56 Cooper S this morning and we're very pleased with the car.
However, the "over heating" warning icon has flashed up in yellow about six times. It only stays on for maybe one or two seconds and then goes out. I spoked to our dealer and they were unsure as to why this would happen?
I've checked the coolant level in the expansion tank, it was below the MIN mark when the engine was hot. Is this normal?
I've also noticed that the bonnet is incredibly hot to touch after driving for a while, is this normal as well?
I'm a bit worried as I've been driving the car like a Nun and well keeping below 4500rpm.
Anyone out there had any similar problems?
P & T.
