Fitted my replacement fan style heated washer jets, such a huge improvement. While I was under there I got a few fresh engine bay snaps too! ![Smiling face with heart-eyes :heart_eyes: 😍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.0/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png)

Is Ramair a good brand of induction kits? I was looking at an MST one but a Ramair one is available locally for me and Ive never heard of them.Fitted my replacement fan style heated washer jets, such a huge improvement. While I was under there I got a few fresh engine bay snaps too!

As soon as I bought the car I was certain I wanted a RamAir cold air intake. Managed to find one with turbo elbow for sale so was perfect for me. I wanted open intake also as the noise from them is awesome. Loves of suck and blow!Is Ramair a good brand of induction kits?

Nice enjoy!Waved goodbye to it yesterday
An hour later I went to pick up my new car
So far the dash cam install was far easier in the Leon
I know fuel won't be as good as the fr, but I'm doing less and less miles these days

Afraid I can't help on the engine temps as my motor has been modified to also keep temps down.Think I may have noticed an issue with my radiator, that I’ve been monitoring a bit.
Doesn’t seem to turn on at all even at low speed when engines at temperature.
Had noticed via live data from obd, that coolant has reached 105c - even though dash says 90 still.
And the fans aren’t kicking in at all.
Did an output test couple weeks back and h the fan definitely worked but not triggering.
No fault codes, am I overthinking it? I would have thought the fan would come on even at low speed.
Also on these car is there a sure way to tell coolant is actually fluctuating and going into the radiator? Someone said check if the top radiator hose is hot or
Yeah I knew the gauge doesn’t display the true temperature.Afraid I can't help on the engine temps as my motor has been modified to also keep temps down.
However what I can confirm the coding of the temp guage is that it will show 90 even when temps are higher till a set value then it will go up, personally I have never hit that stage but I have certainly seen over 90
What coding did you do and do you think it actually makes any difference. The reason I ask is I have asked Revo in the past and they said they never did any coding.Fitted my huge concoction of brake parts:
- VCDS coding for 370mm setup

Thanks for that,The only coding that is different from say a Leon Cupra with regular 340mm front brakes, vs a Sub8 package Cupra with 370mm Brembo's is in the ABS coding from what I've found. I changed byte 4 and 17 (mirror of 4). I used the amazing ABS coding spreadsheet created by multiple ross tech users. Here is the relevant Byte so you can see what I mean.

I can't remember my old coding as mine was an FR with 312mm brakes originally - but I'm now running C4 as Byte 4, and then that mirrored in Byte 17, which is 23.
I couldn't tell you if it felt different as I did the coding at the same time as the hardware swap, but the general consensus is that you get a firmer pedal feel. I'd like to say I would go and try it back to back each coding, but I have so many other bits to do on the car that would be a low priority.
For what its worth, it may have some effect on the ESP / XDS side of things, as we know the car can apply braking pressure to each caliper individually in an out of control spin scenario. Now that I'm running substantially larger front brakes than stock, and small rears, the ESP would certainly need to behave differently to effectively correct a spin (or attempt to!).
I'd say on the safety side of things alone, a company such as Revo should be offering a complete package including relevant coding, considering its something that is absolutely possible to do.
This is my opinion though and should be taken with a pinch of salt, its not like you're telling your ABS coding what brake pads you're running, which can and does also have a dramatic effect on your braking performance!!
