heat

As above really, for the past few weeks the temp gauge wont make it all the way to 90(half way). It happens more when its non stop drive ie crusing at dual carriage way speed, but during stop start traffic it seems to warm up fine. It didnt make it all the way to half way on my drive home last...

My Exhaust heat shield on my beeza Is really loose and it knackerd that much so that it is rattling so much it driving me mad!!! Can i just remove it? I have a 3'' Downpipe With de-cat and Milltek System...And at the Moment When driving it really hard am getting Small 1ft flames out of the...

Hi, I posted before about my clutch, but now it has got worse so I'm pretty sure it is not just my imagination now. Over the last week or so, the bite point for the clutch has moved closer to the floor, with the clutch no longer springing back up to the rest point. It will come up slowly...

I have started to notice when driving the car from 0-2500 revs a slight rattle from what seems to be below the dash or centre console. Is this the heat shield do you think, and if so where could I source one from? Cheers [B)]

for those with jabba heat shields where have you mounted your catch tank? ive searched for catch tank fitting and the ones ive seen all seem to be mounted in the top right where the filter is..

Hi all have just got a cone filter fitted to my leon and i know they suffer from heat soak quite bad from the engine, does anyone know where i can got one or get one made up say? cheers

I had a banging/bumping noise coming form the back of the car for a couple of weeks, it was really doing my head in. :shrug: I tried tidying out the boot, removing the golf clubs, unhanging the toe rope/jump leads, tightening the spare wheel and still couldn't figure out what was going on...

When i'm driving with the fan/ac off I still get a lot of heat coming in from the vents (to the point that i have to close the vents)!! Is this normal?

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon with their aircon, now that the weather has taken a colder turn and we're starting to use the heater rather than the cooling.... When I used the aircon in the summer, say it was a hot day and I started the car and switched the unit to 17 degrees on...

Im having problems with my exhaust, where it loops over the rear beam it rattles off teh rear beam. I was wondering if i wrap it in heat wrap would it stop the rattling? IVe tried a few things but they just melt away, at least this wont melt :) Any ideas? Ta

Driving home last night was all pretty normal until my red light flashed and bleeped and my engine temp was on max. pulled over and popped bonnet all seems ok, no smoke, no fluid leeking. However fans not wrkin? let her cool down then drove agen, 10 mins later same happened. now on examination...

I was doing a bit of research on the standard fitted SMIC on the LC this arvo, and was reading various things, about the stock set up suffering from heatsoak and loosing power on warm days. Which got me to thinking (dangerous i know :whistle:) and wondered if a small 12v electric fan fitted...

Hi, After 1 day of owning my Cupra R I got impatient and decided to fit my head unit with a friend.... Anyway....all was fine until about 3 today when the buttons would illuminate for a few seconds and then switch off. Have taken it out this evening and have tried connecting the old...

......on an 8 valve gti?? What a pig of a job!! With no oxycetaline, i had a go at knocking the cover off the front pipe on my cordoba gti this afternoon. 3 hours and a shed load of cuts and bruises later, i finally dragged it free! It was really beginning to rattle and vibrate while driving so...

Heya, My car has a heat shield rattle at 2000 rpm and i've done a search but found nothing conclusive as to how to fix it. Do they run ok without the heatshields on? I had my car up on ramps today and it seems to have a shield for the cat and a shield for the front silencer, is it ok to just...

As the temps are beginning to rise I was just wondering if the cupra suffers from heat soak. My leon fr tdi did quite badly. I am hoping that the fmic on the cupra will deal with any heat soak. Thanks

Since having my exhaust and stage2 on my car my fast fans are kicking in every 2-3 min when only stationary for about 3min and they have even started kicking in whilst driving at 10-15mph. Sometimes the temp gauge starts to rise very slowly never quite reaches 100 degrees an doesnt beep but it...

iv got an open cone filter, similar to a jabbasort one, really want to keep it as i love the noise. It says in the sticky about induction kits that they reduce maf life and engine life, question is - if i fabricate a heat shield like the jabba sport one, will i find its any better and will it...

Hi All Right, why does my car perform better when engine is cold and not warm - Had this ongoing issue with going with car not boosting properly - First it was a air leak and changed my hoses and everything was fine, then a couple of days later it started to do it again - When I...
