i have a 126 aircooled ( polish lhd ) and after parking theres a really hot feel to the engine lid and the air coming out of the vents is very very hot. is this normal? because of where i live, theres lots of hills and the traffic ( modern cars ) drive quite fast, so i have to drive at max revs in 2nd and 3rd gear only with my foot pressed hard to the floor so im keeping up with the other traffic. so the little engine is working very hard / maximum most of the time. but there is no temperature gauge as its air cooled so how can i know if its gettting too hot? or will it just stop?
thanks for any help / advice
