    In this weather you'll be fine - not sure I'd want to sit in traffic for hours on end, but for driving, it'll be ok.

      Its not a problem to blank it.
      But make sure you dont do what some people do and connect the two hoses together, You need to blank off the two hoses that go into the aux rad!!!
      Im sure i have a coupe quattro (shorter) genuine aux rad kicking about that is only a couple of years old, it should be good as new, i remember it cost a fortune when i bought it.... i'll take a look.

          Blank it just now. Refit if required.

          I have had no issues with temp on my s2 without the aux rad, including on track. If your main rad is half blocked it may not be a good idea though.
