Ths intercooler fitted and coolant temp sensor - SEAT Cupra.net

Importcupra · 11-02-2008, 00:03

Hello guys fitted my intercooler yestaday, and i must say its made a big improvent! car pulls alot harder and theres no heat soak atal! also i have a dead coolant temp sensor would this cause the car to over fuel and stop it from starting from time to time and would this restrict performance? ( it was doing this before the intercooler was fitted)

well i scaned mine a while ago and got a coolant temp sensor fault, i cleared it and it came back! so i fitted a new one but i had no visable problems. it ran fine and started every time..

Importcupra · 11-02-2008, 09:24

well uv seen when mine dont start and i have to open my expansion tank botle to get it going and when it does that it over fuels like a **** sooo im hoping it is just that

Importcupra · 11-02-2008, 19:23

*redcupraboy* · 11-02-2008, 19:35

gregorcupra · 11-02-2008, 20:36

Does the slam panel etc not need cuts made in it ? Where did you get it all from ?

Importcupra · 11-02-2008, 20:42

Matt S! · 11-02-2008, 20:42
