heat

I'm having a problem with my girlfriend's Ibiza. First, her climate control was only working on the front windscreen and in the cabin, but not on the feet. I pulled out the module that holds all the dials and everything seemed in place. I put it back together, and now the air is only blowing...

I've noticed my FMIC pipes in the engine bay get very hot and I was thinking in maybe wrapping them with exhaust wrap? Would this be a waste of time seeing as it passes through the cooler or do you reckon its worthwhile?

Hi guys, I have a rattle/buzz noise when doing clutch control or pulling away or when digging into the torque band in gear, It sounds metalic. I don't want to take it to a dealer even though it's not a year old yet as they will probably beat all 4 corners off of the bumpers and make fag burns...

Now I know there are a few people here that run open cone filters without issue however my engine gets really hot. I suspect its due what I suspect is a front bumper/airflow issue. With that said the airbox and cold air feed from the front of the car can get bloody warm. I'm moving to a...

The other day I was chatting to someone who had chosen to wrap the intake pipework of a CAI with a gold tape to reduce the heat absorption and ensure the air getting into the system was as cold as could be. Given the temperatures in modern petrol cars can generate under the bonnet this seemed to...

Wondered if any one has got the part number for the plastic surrounding the stereo and heat controls. As my car got broken into and they have snapped it cheers

anyone have a clue how the hell the silver wrap around the turbo goes back on, had mine taken off when new turbo fitted and im sure its on wrong but to be fair its a proper state, been on phone to forge and ordered new turbo intake pipe cus looks like mine has collapsed and getting a little bit...

hi all :think:anybody know where i can get a heat shield for my lc i have a pipercross air filter...

Can these be purchased on their own? I was thinking of making my own heat shield but it may be easier to just buy one. There may be a slight problem though, if It's possible to buy the jabbasport heatshield will there be a gap around the top where I have removed the bonnet lining? cheers

jsut popped the car in for the service and on the report i had back they said that the exahsut heat shield was lose and that the screws had perished and broken:help::cry: i guessed something was up as the rattle has been annoying me for sometime now! thinking (as i sometimes do!!!) that this...

hello wondered if any one can give me some advice had a rattle coming from the heatsheild over the cat on my ibiza cupra 16v and now its got really bad tryed refixing it but its about had it i know they wont cost much and i probley will get a new on but what i want to know is if i take it...

Guys, How important is it to keep the heat shield on the turbo to charge pipe hose? I've just come in from 9 hours under the bonnet without food or water having now fitted THS TIP, upper boost hoses and as above Forge turbo to charge pipe hose. I also changed my 007 spring to the yellow...

looking at a turbo back system, when i had a FRS it was the dun thing to heat wrap from the turbo down, and it did help reduce engine temps, as the turbo was at the top front of the engine bay. is it worth it on the LCR systems,

I have just finished fitting my Porsche Boxter callipers and Cupra R disks (305mm). My problem is that the disks just touch the heat shield behind them. I have pushed them back pretty much as far as they will go. If anyone has experienced the same problem or has any advice it would really be...

OK Have the Dreaded Mayo lil bit on the dip stick Loads up the Main crackcase Breather But nothing under the oil filler cap? Has been a little lumpy idleing lately but i'd just put that down to being a Cold ABF!! Doesn't appear to be loosing water from the header tank But it seems...

The heat shield on the Cupra TDI was replaced on the 11-12-2007 under warranty. It has drop off again, or at least is being pulled off by the exhaust. [:@] The car ran out of warrnty on the 15th Jauary 2009. Is the replaced heat shield still under warranty? If not is there a good case...

Getting a new section of exhaust next weekend but the guy showed me that at the bottom of the heat shield its a touch loose. Is there a clamp or way of improving that union so it wont rattle and annoy me! thanks guys

My heater will only blow out cold air and will not blow any air onto the windscreen at all. I have ecotronic fitted. Any suggestions ?

Just been out in the car but had no heaters? Checked the water level and was low, filled it up but still got no heat after running etc. There seemed to be a fairly steady stream coming from the expansion bottle, which i assume needs replacing and all water pipes checking and reclamping - is...

ill be driving a round give it a hammering for a bit and then u put your foot down and its not the same power as earlier. baring in mind its a standard intercooler and does feel warm if you touch it...... how can i prevent this??? i have a fmic waiting to go on but for the mean time could i...
