How Long To Cool Down ?

[Jimlad]

How long will it take the turbo/engine to cool down ??

Been driving for maybe 20mins. Need to do some work near the turbo. Curious how long it will take to cool down so I don't fry my fingers.

Can I just pour water over the area ?? .... lol.

Depends how hard you've been driving it.

Have a brew put some toast on, when you've finished them it should be cool enough. lol

a little tip for ya..

Keep the engine lid open... will cool it down a lot quicker in this cold weather.. just make sur eit aint in direct sunlight..

[houston]

if the turbos still glowin then dont touch it!

Jim... What are you doing to the car whilst i'm not there??? :D

[houston]

im more surprised he hasnt asked u to do it first!

[ricomr2]

He hasn't asked me cos i'm up in Glasgow for a couple of days!!

But i've just remembered what he's doing so he should manage on his own.....maybe :P

[houston]

didn't work.. hose wouldn't move once clips removed. Got garage to order a new piece all the same though. Will have to take the big metal thingy off to get the hose off first. Easy enough by the looks of it.

Also... they said oil might sometimes seep through the edges if it's old.. but he also said it is possible that air is escaping there because it's a very old piece of hose. Anyhoo.. will replace it all the same. See if it makes a difference.
