Hot firewall, is it normal?

[MarioZg]

Hello, I realised that firewall near the throttle pedal from inside becomes very hot when I drive. Is that normal? On that place from outside is timing chain on the engine, so I dont understand why it would be so hot there. Everything else is perfectly normal, ventilator is running normally,antifreeze is on the same level, car is running great...

Hi Mario-This is all normal as rear of engine & head sits quite near the firewall-Nothing to worry about. -Reid.

It must be an issue with R4s only in Croatia! I notice the same problem whenever I drive without wearing shoes

Thank you for answering, I heard from some people that is normal, but from one guy I heard that that`s indicating on engine problem, but he didn`t know which. Anyway, thank you one more time.
