Hot, hot, hot

[cjhill]

Well we have had the, 'how cold is it competetion' and the how 'low can you get your mpg reading' (and take a photo at the same time),

Time we had a how hot is your car competition.

Heres a start....

Is that the outside temp???

 

[cjhill]

yep, admittedly on the drive which is sandwiched between two houses and is effectively a giant oven. Theres no breeze and the walls and floor is dark so lots of reflective heat.

 

[DPM]

High temp but how the hell do you get your mpg that high?!

 

[cjhill]

its because i dont use petrol, i drive around on a combination of chewed up rabbits and small children.

They are very efficient.

Here in Cyprus this is normal this time of year

Oh yes ... it's an S3 classic, a very common fault. Mine was fixed under warranty last year. You should get it fixed as your car is not alarmed properly.

 

[DPM]

Mine did that for about a week a while ago but now it's fine!

 

[hass]

Oh really? arr well best i look into it... strangly though, when the outside temp kewl's its fixes itself again..!

It seems nearly every fault on this forum i have experianced! my dealer got sick of me because i made sure i got every little thing sorted before my warrenty expired... looks like one slipped through the net!
