Q: How long do you let your car "cool down" before covering it?
|
Do you mean after being in the sun for a long time, or the engine being hot?...
I wouldnt say wait for too long or youd be out there for a long time, metal takes a while to cool down anyways, the cover wont burn or anything if the metal is slightly warm...
just my 2cents |
No cool down needed
for the 4.2 or the 2.7t. Turbocharged cars normally require a cool down period so the turbo bearings aren't cooked in any remaining oil within the turbo. The 2.7t recirculates this oil. 97-01 A4 turbos do not have this feature so to extend turbo life, a cool down period is recommended. I've noticed my turbo glowing red after spirited driving. Normally a 2 minute cool down will elimate the glow.

Sorry, I should've been more clear. I'm worried about the hot hood and exhaust touching the cover.
