Hi Guys

I have noticed recently my car was running hot, however i noticed the cold feed pipe to the filter had dropped off.

Has anyone else added extra ducting etc to allow a better cold air feed

Any suggestions/ tips would be great
Thanks

Cold air to your intake's obviously a good thing for power, but I'm not sure it makes a difference to how hot the engine runs. I'd be looking at the state of your viscous coupling / rad...

the rad seems ok and has just been flushed etc. Got a new thermo fitted thanks stu, the fan cupling.

What do i need to look for etc

thanks

Well for a start, bear in mind that 'hot' on the temp guage ain't necessarily hot... It's not a linear scale, so a bit above what it runs at in the winter, isn't the end of the world in this weather!

But still, it's not a good thing. Get a rolled up newspaper & try to stop the fan. If the coupling's ok then when the engine's hot, the paper'll get shredded. If the fan stops, get a new coupling.

the previous owner of my car had a piper cross kit fited to it.

he took it off, sold the car to me with the standard one, but left the air feed in place

never run anywhere near quater hot
