Engine Bay Temps

[-J-]

I've not really used the clio much since I went to Trax in Sept.

When sat in traffic on the way in the car suffered with High EBT, not overheating but temps raised enough to mean that the washer jets were puffing steam from the water in the lines heating up.

Anyone got any solutions other than bonnet raisers that look s**t?

vents of some sort would be my guess covering the rear of the engine

You could take the rear bonnet seal out, but I'd leave it in place where the heater air inlet vents are!! Otherwise you end up with warm air coming in through the vents.
It's only a matter of trimming it to suit.

So just along the top edge at each side?

Yes mate. I'd focus more on where the exhaust manifold is tbh and I'd do the same on the front seal. On mine I have no skins so the added airflow helps no end in getting air into the v6 airbox.

I'll take a look over winter as I'm Sorn'ing it.

Bonnet will be going fibreglass soon I think so may take a look at ventilation options
