What owners report:

Overheating issues are less frequently discussed compared to misfires/sensors, but there are concerns especially in hotter climates o r with long uphill drives.

Some owners mention that the cooling system works reasonably well if maintained using quality coolant and keeping radiator/fan in good condition helps.

One user specifies using “KFS‑12+” coolant or upgraded coolant helps keep temperature stable 75‑85°C even in northern/higher altitude areas.

What helps owner suggestions:

Ensure coolant is of good quality, replace as needed.

Check radiator, fan working, hoses, ensure no leaks.

Avoid overloading vehicle, reduce strain in heavy traffic / prolonged idling.

After a heavy o r long drive, let engine / turbo cool before shutting off so turbo oils/cooling get time
