Bodge job on my air intake hose Relentless can XD

[BenDalton]

well i was on a little drive with some of my mates and my air intake hose fell off down the moterway, we continued a good 150 miles+ and my car started to get seriously hot :rasp: so we went to the nearest garage to get some ducting hose, unfortunatelly the only had 2 pipes that were too short and they didnt have any connecters to fit them together! thankfully my friends girlfriend had an amazing idea XD a relentless can witch she had been drinking haha!! it gave us the extra 4"'s that was needed to get the cold air feed. and with a few cuts to the can was wide enough to fit the ducting hose's in

 

[matt|H]

Smart idea but I hope that's going to get replaced lol

and this had to be quoted...

it gave us the extra 4"'s that was needed

your car is getting hot from driving without caf? don´t you have 70 mph speed limits over there!?

Mum and dad work for the police, and all the police have been told to keep off the A55 and all other moterways near me due to a high number of paperwork from speeding tickets that needs to be caught up on, there not back on the moterways untill the end of this month so we stuck our feet down a little XD

 

[mr.pink87]

5th gear straight to the limiter?

Can I ask how your car was getting "seriously" hot?

And also how a piece of pipe stuck down your bumper aided in cooling it down?


I don't know how all the other standard cars on the road cope with these extreme temperatures when commuting? :S

 

[JCC]

Your car got seriously hot because the caf to your airbox fell off? Eh?

yeah my cars engine is kinda erm s**t lol

 

[mr.pink87]

Your engine can not get to hot due to the lack of a caf!

well it got real hot with out it must be some other s**t playing up, got my M.O.T in a few days so i will let him know!

 

[matt|H]

When you say it's getting hot... How far up is the temp gauge?

I drove the a55 twice a day for 2 years.. never seen police car?

 

[Silent_Scone]

What is with the barrage of morons recently. This is just an idea but did you even think to check, I don't know, maybe the f**king coolant lol. Must of been the 5 brake loss from the lack of caf putting strain on the engine

 

[Dave..]

Everything about this reeks of fail.

Intake temperature has f**k all to do with cooling.

 

[MikeB]

LOL! Wtf?!

 

[DrR]

So how do cars that have cone filters not explode and overheat then?

 

[fearless]

So your 1.4 was overheating due to a lack of CAF?

Think you may have bigger issues tbh.

 

[BenDalton]

When you say it's getting hot... How far up is the temp gauge?

easily 3/4 the way up if not a bit more

 

[Will.]

Sounds like a rad issue more than a CAF.

 

[matt|H]

easily 3/4 the way up if not a bit more

... and this went back down when you added your can/CAF? Doubt it did anything TBH.

 

[Aaron182.]

when i had a 1.2 the temp gauge was always 3/4 of the way up when driving on the motorways... dont worry try driving 70... it will go to half.
