Re: Coolant fans and sender

Thanks, had read that, maybe should just have added to that thread, but shouldn't it be on by 106? Does anyone know whats the highest safe temperature to let it run to before I should turn up the heating?

Coolant fans and sender

I may be going mad, but I'm sure my cooling fan used to cut in at somewhere about 96-98 previously, but recently it doesn't seem to be happening. I let it go (very briefly) to 106 once sitting in traffic before turning up the heating full to bring it down. Later that day it cut in about 98 or so. Th...

Re: Sorry, another tyre thread.......

I just switched from the RE040s to AD07s. Combined with a little increase in front camber there is a big difference. Turn in is sharper and the car is much better under braking. I had toyos a while back on the S3 (Audi) and didn't find them much different from the RE040s. Presume the Kumhos are KU31...

Re: Geo Settings, real experience?

Just to close off on this. I got -0.833 (was -0 degress 50 minutes, not -0.5 before I edited this) on the front, rest standard. Front toe was quite well off. Even on the short drive home I could feel a fair difference. Hopefully this will help without causing inside wear. Will update the thread late...

Re: Newbie technical stuff
