Wanted Aux Rad for ABY S2 .

Welcome to the forum Plenty of the members have removed the Aux radiator and blanked off or used copper pipe to connect the two pipes together. There are lots of posts about this in the cooling section on the forum. Take a look sometime. Where are you?

Cheers Dave I guess no need for aux rad , but whats best blank it or bypass??.
Bought an S2 about two weeks ago and the ****** sprung a leak, not too bad at the moment but it will get worse i'm sure.
By the way i'm from Norfolk near Gt Yarmouth.

Doug,
Thanks for the reply but after reading Dave's ( Stick Insect !! ) post
I'm in a quandry wether to remove rad or not.
Would apprieciate any veiws on this i know its probbably been discussed
but i am new to the S2 and this site.

Cheers Dale
p.s what sort of price did you have in mind for your rad ?

I've just replaced mine... Audi wanted just short of £200 +VAT for a new one... ouch! It's certainly cheaper to put a bypass in, but mine runs fine as it is, so I thought why change?

You can get them from GSf or ECP, i have a receipt for it somewhere.
i'd ditch it anyway. easier access to front end and will run cooler beleive it or not, quite a few of us have found this out.
you need to plug the pipes, dont join them together.

I have only just removed mine a couple of weeks ago. When i get stuck in traffic it still only goes up to 90, but when/in driving it definately runs cooler.It used to sit 1,maybe 2 notches under 90 but now it sits at three under

What is the optimum temperature for the engine to run at? Shouldnt think wants to run above 90 but not below 80 either. Anyone know?

Jubjub have you changed your multifunction sensor to the newer style 3 pin one? I have noticed it gives slightly cooler readings or then the wind has more effect on the newer style one.
Temp gauge drops near 80 when driving constant highway speed but the vagcom was used simultaneously and it showed 87-90 C all the time!

Porkkis, the multifunction sensor has not been changed....
