As you may have seen from my videos that my car can over heat when given some hell. This is now beginning to annoy me!! :banghead: Does any one have any ideas why this may be happening. It only does it when the car is being pushed hard for small amount of time. The turbo is full on and rev's are high. But just giving it some stick round town she is fine.

My thoughts are around oil temp??? Would there be a way to test this? I am also still getting the wooosh noise from under the dash.


Thoughts please as I am at a loss :crybaby:


Thanks

If your getting the woooshing from behind the dash, then you either have imminent BHG :crybaby: or an air lock.
Partially blocked rad maybe as well. I wouldn't push it anymore if it's getting hotter than it should, as it will lead to BHG.

You can't rule it out but it's doubtful with that hardware installed.

Is the heater VSV working???

Did you replace the rad cap when you fitted the MHG??

What condition is the rad in??

I have done the keep it open thingy you guy's told me about on the vsv

Put a brand new rad cap on and rad is only 4000miles old and fells evenly heated!
