    Erm ..... Overheating?!

    If the themo stat stayed closed, would it give the symptoms of ooverheating? I took off the coolant cap while idling and the coolant rose and splooshed around, when I put the cap back on, the coolant dropped?

    mods for a3

    All depends what you want from your car? Performance, better off with a 1.8t or 1.9tdi Style, lowering and some nice alloys. But all comes down to what you want from your car

    Map sensor

    Thanks tuffty, that's what I thought. Although I do have a sensor in my original IC. Fmic was quite fun to put on.. Still need tweaks on front bumper and pressure test. I have a tester with a valve on it. What's the best way to make sure there is no leaks? I have a compressor too

    Map sensor

    Evening all I've just finished installing my FMIC. on my intercooler is a map sensor, but no cable going to it? It's an 1.8t 1999 agu. Now do the Standard IC come with the map sensor slot on all and they plug with the sensor regardless of engine model, or am I missing my lead?? Cheers
