    Arran's TDi FR

    Update at last! As a few might know I had overheating issues after the remap, the side mount cooler just wasn't up to scratch. So I bought an Airtec front mount and it looks amazing. Also brought the temp down to 26'C at redline when booting the car through the gears :D The night...

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    So to anyone that's interested, I fitted an Airtec Frint mount intercooler and piping kit. Fitted well with a few cut outs from the bumper. I took it out for a run and let the car get up to temperature and then plugged in VCDS. Ran the car at normal driving and also ripping it along some roads...

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    I recently bought an airtec front mount cooler for my car but not got round to fitting due to weather and work. Should be done this weekend if all plans go ahead and I will post my results as soon as I know. Good to know I'm not the only one suffering from this

    Wiring loom cable sizes?

    Cheers mate, knew it was small but wasn't sure if I should go with 16strand or 32. Might just stick with 16 strands and see how it goes. Was only asking as I've had problems with my temp control and if I muck up the readings of the MAP sensor by using wrong cable then I will be up the creek haha

    Wiring loom cable sizes?

    Does anyone have any experience with the wiring loom for a 1.9tdi MAP sensor? I recently bought a front mount cooler and the wiring loom aparently needs to be extended by about 150mm. I am comfortable with soldering new wires into the look but I've no idea what size of cable to use...

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    Ah right yeah that does make sense, I got rid of the shroud when the bumper went so I will have to buy a front mount. Cheers for all your help guys! I will aim to buy the cooler asap and will keep this updated!

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    I've got the Cupra front bumper which is not ideal for the side mount, so I'm aware that flow will be slightly restricted but I'm not the first to have put this bumper on and no one else seems to have this problem. The shroud doesn't fit behind the new bumper so I have to keep the fog light out...

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    Guess I'm gonna have to part with my cash for a front mount!:cry: I'm going to give a last ditch effort and remove all the piping and ensure everything is clear, then do a run with the bumper off so the cooler is on display. At least that will eliminate any air flow and blockage issues. If...

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    quick update. I fitted the new MAP sensor and nothing seems to have changed. instead of maxing at 115'C im getting 105'C but that's the only change[:@] Thinking about taking apart the intercooler piping and having a look inside for blockages but apart from that im at a loss :shrug:

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    I got the sensor yesterday but it will be a weekend job for me to fit it due to work. I will keep this thread updated with the results and readings I get on vcds once fitted

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    Should the MAP sensor have 4 or 5 ports on it? I've read something about 5 but the ones for sale all have 4 :confused: Don't want to pick up the wrong one, the descriptions all mention pressure but no temperate with the MAP sensors

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    Ok so this morning plugged the car in to vcds and the air intake temp was sitting at 5.5'C which was right enough for the temperature where I am. But after 5 mins of 40mph and very sensible driving I got readings for 35'C. I then done another run after work, IAT was at 12'C which was the same...

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    I will get one ordered ASAP, what pressure rating would you recommend? I plan on taking the car quite a bit further with power so should I go for the 3bar?? The mapper said I should expect temperatures about 50-65 depending on conditions so I will be happy at even getting that low!

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    Yeah 007 third one in, I just went out in my dads leon and it struggled to get above 30'C at redline! Is the map sensor the one going into the intercooler ye? I always get mixed up where they all are lol

    Air Intake Temp Over 100`C!!

    Cheers for the response guys. The fins look clean enough and there isn't any marks to suggest a blow/blocking. When it went for a remap it had similar readings, which obviously worsened as more power was added. I will go back to the centre of the issue is not resolved by the other solutions. I...
