I have a CR 9070, new to me this year 2009 reg, on the first day we used it in wheat when it got dark I pulled up beside it to take a load and could see a red glow from the engine bay.
It had melted a bit of the engine wiring loom, and the Turbo had cracked internally between two ports were it bolts to the manifold.
Also i found a leak in the intercooler piping which could have caused it to get hot in the first place. It's defiantly running cooler now but I can still see a red glow when it's cutting in the dark at 100% engine load. Is this normal, anyone know what sort of temperature the turbo/manifold should be at when working at 100% engine load.
Seems like a fire risk to me but the dealer thinks it's ok. I'm a bit worried they want it to catch fire as they don't seem to know how to fix it!
