    How hot does your oil get?

    ive noticed that my oil is getting rather hot on motorways, about 115 when travelling at 90-100. is this normal for a 130pd sport? its got cupra bumpers so are they restricting the air flow? btw the oil level is fine and so is the water. cheers.

    Afternoon all, Lazy acceleration advice needed::help: This past week, my usually fantastic LC has just not been quite as eager to pull when the turbo spools up. Yes it goes, but the urgency with which it usually dispatches 50 to 80 in third on the motorway has gone... not so much a wall...

    Hot engine start surge

    In hot weather after a decent run, when you restart whilst engine still hot (16v) the engine surges up to 2.5k rpm then settles at idle. Air leak of some description somewhere? :shrug:

    Anyone had their LCR rolling roaded in hot weather?

    Got back from PowerStation in Tewkesbury today where I ran my LCR on the rollers with a group of guys from another forum I visit. I am a little confused with the results though: 241.8 BHP at the fly, but only 150 BHP at the wheels. 1) should my transmission losses be that high! 2) if the...

    In the last few days I have had no hot air coming out of my Climate Control system (With Air Con On & Off) in my Ibiza TDI Sport. Even if I switch the temperature up to maximum it still blows cold air, this is even after the car has driven 20 miles. Guessing it could be a Thermostat or...
