How did your cooling system hold together in this sweltering heat.

Just replaces coolant again with more Redline water wetter and purified water and the AU1 XR sat below the N of NORMAL all through the hot spell with air con on and off and me giving it some stick on the way home from work each time
original radiator from factory in 1998 too

Anything over R is not a good sign ur radiator working well and as it the original radiator i wouldnt be suprised if its about 20% blocked.

Invest in a knew Heavy Duty radiator as they have bigger cores and tubes and it wont go past M....................

Drove about in my ba i6 today 40 degrees outside, air cond full tilt, drove about 20 mins then idled up for about 15 minutes (went through drive through and then sat with car started to eat my lunch. Temp didnt budge at all from normal operating temp

All you guys in EF's, EL's AU's and BA's don't forget - when it's hot and you're hitting the air con, the high speed fan usually drops in as well, so you're getting almost double the airflow as you normally would without the aircon on.

Having 2 thermofans is kinda neat in this hot weather
