heat

Having a heating problem with my Leon, I've seen threads on this before but nothing as specific as mine. 2 days ago I had a low coolant warning on the dash, checking it revealed the coolant tank was almost empty. It was last checked a few weeks ago, so is very odd to drop so much so suddenly. I...

Hello, I don't know if anyone has had or has a similar issue to this. But for some reason my right vents (driver) don't produce as much heat as the left vents (passenger). I have plugged a diagnostic tablet into the OBD connection and checked the actuator outputs and vent temperatures. The...

I've seen the gold heat wrap that some people use to wrap their intake pipework and was wondering if it insulates aswell as reflects radiative heat. I'd have thought the majority of the heat comes from convective heat transfer from the hot air under the bonnet rather than radiative heat...

Hi all, Just wondering on a quick filter related question? A Mate just had his TT remapped and was running a K&N 57i kit, they were a VAG specialst and said that the cone filter was useless at high revs due to the tiny engine bay and the filter sucking in the cold air. He put his standard...

Has anyone got one of these? I'm using the Jetex 80mm cone and want a heat shield making for it........thinking buying some sheet metal, polishing it up and cutting it out to fit.... If anyone has the Jabba one, or who has made their own up can you post pictures and even dimensions? Please...

Hi All, I have seen many threads where people mention 'Heatsoak' which is causing them to lose power, particularly it seems on cars running Stg2 or higher remaps / higher performance Cupras etc. To my limited knowledge 'Heatsoak' is caused when 'warmer' air is drawn in and causes a...

I was wondering is there a point of installing heat shiled for my air intake (Apexi cone filter) as I have FMIC? It's logical the the air anyway is going to be cooled down by the bigger intercooler.

Evening all, I had my car on the rolling road day today, and it saw 223.5 BHP with 209 lbf-ft as standard. I then had my car remapped (Revo Stage 1). After, we then put it back on the rollers and taken it for a spin with vag-com making sure the boost and timing etc was all correct, which...

Just did a search and some people say you have to use heat resistant paint on brembos when you refurb them and some don't. Confussed. I would have thort that you do but what does everyone think? if so what is the best stuff to use and where from? do you need to prime? Might just pay someone...

My Ibiza 2004 has developed a fault. It has been cold recently (often -5 at night). The climate control now will not blow any hot air (the fan works, and the speed changes). The ventilation directors also do not change as expected. I cannot get any air up onto the windscreen, and when...

By contrast my parents car (Celica) heats up in about 10 seconds, and if I remember correctly my old 306 took less than a minute too! My dad's suggested getting a new thermastat, and even though Lee has put up a great guide (thanks Lee) it still seems like it's quite a difficult job and...
