Hey Guest👍👎 We're looking for reviews of your local CUPRA or SEAT Dealership - it's quick and easy to do: Leave a review now
is your rad in good condition?
Could it be that your FMIC is blocking too much airflow to it?
Forge told me that they've never seen this problem before, but obviously I have the problem and I have a Forge FMIC.... so don't really know where to look.
I wonder what the differences are between the Forge FMIC core and thickness, compared to your Pace one..?

the airflow THROUGH the FMIC will depend on the FMIC - that's what I'm trying to get at.
if the FMIC itself is thicker, and the fins are closer together, surely not as much air would get through (at least not as much COOL air)

well done you.I know what you're saying - and its weird how only you, me, scotty_b and a couple of others have this issue.
so it must be something car specific? Which is why i suggested radiator condition.
how does the air flow effect cooling when stationary?I was always led to believe that the fans kicking in was because you are stationary,and therefore no airflow to cool coolant.(triggered by the thermostat)
is this just not normal operating ?or am i not getting this?
Jase - when i sat stationary before FMIC - i never heard the fans come on. Only since fitting the FMIC do i see this problem.
I can only assume that there IS a small airflow or something cooling the radiator... as the fans don't kick in anywhere near as much as they do now.
Or what else could it be??
Ben's seems to be worse than mine now though. I've not seen the problem of temp gauge hitting anything over 90 for a few months.

but your car is running HARDER due to stage 2 - you're pushing more power out of the same engine... so surely THAT is the reason its running hotter.
Anyway, thats just how i see it. Lots of other people with the same stage 2 code don't suffer, so i can't see it being related to the code TBH.
The temp the FMIC reads is related to the turbo and air intake temps - not coolant temps, which seems to be where the problem exists.

yeah i see what you are saying all i was saying is that the engine bay temp will affect coolant temps so really when the exhaust temps are like 90 degrees lower than standard zorst and stage 1 and the inlet temps are still only 25 degrees i thought that would result in a cooler engine bay but perhaps as you say where i am pushing it harder the car reaches those temps a lot quicker and the ECU thinks damm its hot in here and hence why it goes into airbus mode
I really don't know mate, and unfortunately there seems to be very few people who can explain as to why it's happening. There seems to be no real resolution as of yet either.
nope - I'm not changing anything on my car now 
The car is running fine, and touch wood (*touches wood*) I haven't seen the temp rise for months now.
