painic!! overheating! engine overheating?
« on: 13 May 2012, 15:17 »
Hey guys i was wondering if i could pick your brains. When im driving along since last night as soon as the turbo kicks in or at around 2000 revs the temp kicks up its not overheated yet but what do you think it is?

Its a 1.8 t 180 bhp auq

Cheers lads
