Dexter Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Think that it's worse at the minute because I'm waiting for a new resistor pack so the fans are on 3, and think that it's cooling it down even quicker. If i turn the fans off for a few mins it's warm for a little while then cools down pretty quick. That's strange, i've never noticed this. The colder it gets outside the higher i crank the heating, i've never noticed it cool down once the engine is up to normal temp. I'm running an oem stat. And with colder i mean up to -25c. But i still have air con, even though not in use and don't even have the belt for it anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 But have you left the aircon rad in dexter as without it slowing the air flow too much air gets in the bay cooling the engine further tgats why he needs a blanking plate to slow the airflow again .

dr_broon Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 haddaway 'n shite man... I'm a t-shirt wearing Geordie as much as the next man, but it's nice to have a little bit of warm air tickling you when you're sat in traffic for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i guess that's it, i'm just surprised it makes such a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah i guess that's it, i'm just surprised it makes such a huge difference.Me too to be honest. I managed to have a relatively traffic free commute home yesterday so managed to get the foot down a bit on the country roads and that brought some warmth in. Bodes well for summertime airflow though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 You proberbly run a different coolant mixture to us in the uk too even wen we get snow Sure because of the cold weather, but i think the only effect the added glycol should have is the freezing threshold? I run a -30c mix year round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
