thanks guy and girls

i'll see how no insulation works first, it was better over the weekend !

as for the temp' gauge ! no that never moves the engine just get un-responcive if i site in traffic a long time and even with my intercooler heat sensor disconected ! i still get the warming light on to say it's over heating....... two mins on the open road will then cancale it .....

One of the best things to do IS to remove the under bonnet padding. You are suffering from residual heat build up, which on a four is a bad thing. Try to get as much air flow into the engine bay as you can, and let the heat in there disperse.

A front mount is the way to go though, it'll solve all your problems with heat build up. Thats what is going into my 185 when it's fully re-built and breathing fire !

A little birdie told me that the Intercooler from an iveco van is the correct size for the ST-205. Available on e-bay for arond £30 uk pounds ! Try and find one cheaper that'll fit, bet you cant !?

Good luck,

Andy...

hmmm thanks andy

i know about the IVECO coolers but there rear in moscow

as for stripping out the insulation, yet i'm gonna go for it.........

what make me still smile is when i sit in a jam, the heat in the engine bay sets of warming light on the dash of thing that are disconected.......
i'm thinking of putting a big ol fan in the front on a manual override switch for the summer...............

are you sure your intercooler pump is working and u have coolant in the intercooler?

Lagos, thanks for your thoughts..

yeah the pumps working and i check fluids again this morning.....

i disconnected the senser from the intercooler and bridged it.....
but i still get the waring light coming on........

i'll get to a garage this saturday to get it checked out thou.......

so the GT4 hoods have a water trap or no? I know you all said that a little water in the engine wont hurt... but just curious what those vents look like up close...

I am interested in getting a zyclone cf hood... just hoping to get an idea how those vents are made and work..

No water trap. Turbo/exhaust manifold under the vent. Water doesn't last long.

i had a water trap, that had a run off gullly to the front.......

i've striped it out for the summer but will replace it come winter.....

i don't care what you guy's say a thick layer of snow at -20 is not good condition to start a turbo working in, in my opinion !!!!

but as for rain, i don't think the water even touches the engine when it's running
