Yep, saw the prices, ouch

[Sonic]

Very interesting, plus the cleaning fluid before filling.

Best price I can find is 50+vat for 5l plus 30 for the cleaner from merlin motorsport.

If you don't ever need to change it as reported, and its as good as it reads, it's very compelling.

[A80Avant]

Isn't it more than 5l that we need?

[Error404]

To be fair the pink Audi stuff lasts 5 years (if you can keep it in the engine that long )
I'd be interested to see if this stuff works. Luckily Andy you have the perfect test-bed, now get some on order and get back over to Spa pronto

[Sonic]

Ill give it a go when we have 32c over here

[A80Avant]

All I can think of is when you get a leak of some sort and you have to top it up etc.

Sounds promicing

[Sonic]

Yeah you'd want 2 bottles to fill her up and top up as necessary.

Doesn't sound like you'd just want to top up with water if required.

[andy10v]

could this increase in coolant and subsequently oil temps be a result of the coolant now also being passed through the TiAL wastegate

Seems like a reasonable thought, you have added a new source of heat input to the cooling system, and have not added any way of removing the additional heat. So if the rad was previously near its cooling capacity then the TiAl could introduce more heat than the rad can get rid of.

[Sonic]

I've got a Dremel (no MadWolf comments please ) and a set of aerocatches so will give a go at installing and see how we get on with the bumper!

There does appear to be a decent amount of movement even with the catch on, but hopefully i can still get a tight finish with them.

[Rusty]

Where are the aero catches going to go then Andy? On the side of the bumper?

[Sonic]

Yeah, there are already some holes in the wing so i can bolt the pin to it at a right-angle, then mount the latch into the bumper and should all be good.

[Rusty]

Sounds interesting.

To take out the movement, you could fit a rubber or foam ring between bumper and wing, it'll also stop the paint rubbing off.

[Sonic]

They come with a rubber bump-stop which will do this nicely...

[Rusty]

Nice. Is there enough room between the two for the mounting plate?

[Sonic]

I hope so, given that the mounting plate is about half as deep as the latch mechanism itself which sits into the bumper so it's flush on the surface.
