Easy to miss, rite at the front of the engine in clear veiw above the filter you keep changing.. on another note i hit 114 in my 8v flatout down the m40 in last summers serious Heat i also backed off in fear of meltdown. normal driving in the 8v sat around 88. not really botherd checking whats happening on the valver. the novelty of having a MFA has worn off lol

oh cool
i was think of putting a n normal one in as it runs at 95 deg on at track day

dont confuse the mfa oil temp with water (easy done)

i crapped myself when i first saw mine hit 99 :whistle: then remembered its oil :redface:

and Jenk technically that block is a heat exchanger but scones and sCOnes :p

worth a thought for those with wide open bumpers (F2 and alike) of theres too much space around the bottom the incoming air will rush past the rad and cause the car to run hotter

add some flaps to section it off - try it with cardboard as a test and i bet it will run 5 degrees cooler - reminds me not done mine yet :)
