Hi I have a BL LS+ 2018. It feels very hot to touch the bonnet after short 10KL drive in cool weather. The bonnet and top of the plastic cover on the motor also takes an hour or more to cool down. The temperature gauge reads normal. It has coolent in it. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance
Astra's heat up quickly. When you turn the car off they heat soak. Engine cover is a part of the engine. It will get hot! If the temperature is normal, the car is at it normal operating temperature!
PSA Don't touch the bonnet after you have driven the car!
Thanks Paul!! After further investigation I realised the Turbo is just under the bonnet and there is no padding under the bonnet to absorb the heat with this model, which I wasn't used to. Apparently it's normal. Which is great I just hope it holds up in hotter weather.
Where is the battery situated in the motor?? What type of battery is used in my Holden Astra BL sedan 2017 model?
It's located in the boot. Lift the floor and you will see in if you look inside the spare wheel
Where do I find the negative battery terminal to disable it to store the car?
