Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Better air intake temp sensor and positioning.Results page 6.

Probably my bad for not being more specific. I was indeed talking about the sensor from the first half of the discussion.

I believe I've found the part Rob bought. I'll now source and adaptor from Ashley if I can.

The stock sensor.

I'm a bit confused. I thought you originally used a triumph sensor with a machined adaptor. All I'm seeing is EGT probe kits.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Better air intake temp sensor and positioning.Results page 6.

Link to the actual sensor? The one above is the to the gauge. Not really interested in that. Also I believe an adaptor is required?

I've heard it doesn't fit far enough into the intake to be as accurate. No idea how true that is.

To bump an old thread. Looking to change mine out. Can these still be had and are they worth the change?

Re: £118 Distributor Cap??

Not sure why people don't just use blueprint ones. They're Toyota quality and made in Japan rather than china.

Re: Odd question about cabin filters

I've thought about this also. Can't understand why they were never fit with something at all. May have a go at this at some point. Can you remember what model Audi filter you used?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wiring engine lid fan.

The fan I intend on running is has a 7 amp draw.

Would the 12v supply from the fuse box be suitable? Granted it would be live all the time rather than a switched 12v but it's probably the closest thing without tapping into other wires.

I'm guessing I just need a bosch type 4 pin relay as well?

As I'm pretty average at wiring how would I go about doing that? :mrgreen:

[Mk2] [Turbo] Wiring engine lid fan.

Hi guys, I realise this has probably been covered a lot previously but I can't seem to find a proper answer. Basically I want to run an engine lid fan to help cool the engine bay a bit better during the warmer months. My question is how can I wire it in to come on when my IC fan comes on? Is there a...

From what I believe it's not just the Factory Rev 5 blocks, it's also the Rev 4's.

Re: Millers Motorsport Oils - new range at Opies

You've linked to a page for cars with a LSD. Does that mean the new gear oils on offering are not suitable for the standard Torsen LSD for the E153 or are you referring to use with an aftermarket plate type LSD?
