Guest Turbo-6 Guests Posted 09/01/03 09:24 AM Share Posted 09/01/03 09:24 AM I've noticed that the plastic mounting on the pipes to the left of the engine has melted and dripped onto the heat shield. This clip will need to be replaced by the dealership. There is some serious heat being generated under the bonnet.

Speaking to my dad their is a points bulletin out about this melting clip and he will be looked after by your dealership.
