Suzuki Stingray Heating issues

[Finisher2112]

So I bought a new Suzuki Stingray few weeks ago... Brand new and it had 14km mileage (fourteen).

I brought it home from the car dealership (drive around 20km) and noticed its very hot after parking it at home.

I'm not really sure this hotness is normal or abnormal... There's no temperature warnings in the dashboard warning clusters nor there's any problem with the AC running hot, everything inside just works fine but the bonnet is hot to touch.

I've checked the coolant n all, all seems to be fine and full.

Is this normal ?

without air flow(In Traffic jam),it could be normal. But not good for the lifetime of the components(Electronics,Battery..)

Don't know when reversing the ODO meter (bad sales guys do...), whether they have messed any wiring of sensors.

I don't think so... I've checked everything before buying and nothing of fraud I saw.

small engine running at low speed. Still alternator has to power the AC,Power Steering,hybrid battery with no air cooling from wind.

Hot can be a bit comparative as well. I suggest you check with another wagon R / Sting  (identical engine config i.e turbo / non turbo) and see for yourself.. if you feel the your car's heating is too much , for starters just check the fan function. If its on the same fan for AC & engine both then i guess the cooling system may have a block , perhaps a manufacturing fault / debris

I'm fairly certain there's nothing to worry... you can plug in an OBD reader and check if the temperature readings are within normal parameters

Thank you all for your time and replies. Hoping to see more opinions on this matter...

what was your last car,is this your first 660cc  Kei-car? These engines are continuosly working at the high end of the possible performance curve and not designed to last  until 300,0000kms like the 1.5L Corollas. I would think of it as a disposible item.

I also think similar to vag2. These 660 cc vehicles may not be designed to last longer like bigger engine cars. Anyway regarding your heating problem, I can't comment much - since I do not have a kei-car....?

May be due the low quality thin metal sheet used to manufactuer the frame.Heat get transffered to hand pretty fast.

I have no idea about your problem but i also faced similar problem with my toyota car. When i brought ( second hand )  it,  i noticed that there is an abnormal heat after parked. but the heat indicator did not light up while driving. after few months later when i was on my way to n- eliya, RED heat indicator lighted up.

I  changed coolent , radiator. but the problem was there.

later i discovered that there was a small gasket leak in the engine. While driving on  flat areas it was not a issue to the car. but when it get load, it could not bear the heat. 

the best thing is compare it with another Wagon R .  Also start the car and open the radiator cap and check if it gives any bubbles.

 

 modern vehicles does not come with heat meters. that is a problem to check this types of problems .. i personally do not like bulb indicators .
