Cooling system doing my head in

Hi Bob saw you at the weekend.

First question have you got a standard intercooler or have you fitted at up-rated one.

If you have and it is the one which fits in front of the rad then a problem can be that the fan sucks air in from the side where the old intercooler used to fit, instead of sucking it through the rad.

This can be solved by making a baffle around that side of the fan to close it in.

Ollie:
Vinnie110,
I have an uprated intercooler from Allisport, full lenght one that sits infront of the rad, useful information, Thanks :D
I'll go take a look, when Laila's back from the Doc's, (Dr.Joe Edwards) :shock:

Ollie,

Mine came from Allisport has well. Was lead to believe that intercooler designed to let air through but I found on the motorway after at bit temp would go up to red until I slowed back to 55-60. Speaking to a mechanic friend he told me about the problem so I made up a baffle out of some thin alli and haven't had the problem since.
