In a word, no !
Question is,is it the header tanker heating the wing, or something else heating them both..... Either way, looks like your cooling system isnt running right.... Are there no warnings on the dash ??

My wing used to get warm at that side, but just a little warm.. How much of a 'run' did you go for?
An hour of full throttle? Or just a drive about?

how do i check the cooling system is there anything i can check or do before it goes in the garage and cost me ££££££ .Ican hear the cats ticking would this be the cause of the hot wing and header tank problem
also i have a realy weird vibration coming through the peddals and steering wheel,ive checked the wheel bearings there ok ,when i turn the wheel slightly to the right it seems to go off could this be the tracking or would it not affect it enough to cause a big enough vibration any thoughts would be most welcome before my teeth fall out |

My S8 is always warm on the wing. Ben changed the radiator recently and it still runs hot. No lights or problems and the temp guage stays at 90.

Where are you Nick? I'm sure if there's someone nearby they'll take a look for you.
