GTI 16V QUESTIONS!
« on: 09 November 2007, 22:28 »
this is my first 16v and i have a couple of questions to ask,

- even in cold whether the rad fan is on for a short time after the engine is switched off.... thermostat????

- the oil temp is showing 110-118 when warmed up..... Normal?????

- According to the MFA i average around 25mpg but sometimes from cold it reads 7mpg and creeps up to 22mpg???...........

- What air filter would you lot recommend as ive done a general service except the panel?? can you even get induction kits?

any info muchly grateful..... :)
