Just out of interest
Tinkering with my B4204T2 today, took it 4 a run, came back and noticed that the rad was cold, ran car until fan came on and still rad cold, so done the same with my B4204S with exactly the same result, b๒th cars are autos, checked both with bonnet up and feeling the front of the rad, both rad tops were hot, both run perfect temp on the gauge, is this normal?

The aircon condenser sits in front of the engine coolant rad. It is very thin, but otherwise the same size as the engine rad and looks the same.. If you felt the front of the rad it would be the air con rad you were touching and yes, would be cold. Don't try to feel the rad from the engine side or you will risk getting your hand mashed up when the auto fan kicks in.
