Double's Dub
Ready to race!
I live in the hellish heat of AZ, and being that its already up well over the 100 degree mark, my car gets hot, and the fans occasionally continue to run even while the car has been turned off (only had the thing since Nov 2011, hence its my first summer with this rocket). Car is only running Stage 1 atm and is used primarily for commuting, so its not like im pushing it.
After a lengthy conversation with VW and the local dealer, they confirmed that this was normal and no cause for concern. I did take a step further and added the g12 plus plus from VW, which actually eliminated this problem :happyanim: runs noticeably cooler, and the temp guage reads at around 180 deg.
So, if any of you dudes are running into this same problem, pick up some of that additive from the dealer or ECS tuning, and pour it in. It works.
p.s , just in case though, i ordered mahself an s3 intercooler, should be here in a week or two
