I cut my 5 door slam panel to go over the rad. Loads of pics on here.

So managed to get a full day on the car yesterday

Front end off

Luckily had a new one lying round so fitted that

Also wired in a slimline fan to the original wiring so it comes on with AC button and fitted a new glow plug relay as it had packed up and some new solid linkages.

Going to betray my lack of 306 knowledge here, but why can you not go to the left of the rad with the return pipe from the IC rather than the convoluted route ?

What is in the way which isn't on the other side ?

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - anto - 14-05-2014

The end tank of the rad prevents it from going that route.

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - Dum-Dum - 14-05-2014

That is a fair old route mate lol. Suppose its no worse than mine though

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - Poodle - 14-05-2014

That's some pretty chronic extra piping there, got to be worth taking it through the washer bottle space and relocating that instead, surely.

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - bashbarnard - 14-05-2014

Or up through slam panel and mod that. Less lag. Plus ure blocking half the engine cooling
Nice.motor though

I'm back....GTIDI inside - Sambarker - 15-05-2014

Or run a ph2 rad with expansion tank seperate to get a bit more room down the side of the rad on the o/s

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - Dum-Dum - 15-05-2014

I suppose at least it's ally pipe on the run back so will give some extra cooling

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - MissTap_GTI6 - 15-05-2014

Don't get him started on 'extra piping' Rolleyes

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - zx_volcane - 15-05-2014

much pipe

Yay she's back Smile

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - rd070707 - 15-05-2014

Can I ask how you wired the fan to rhe AC button? Id like to do it on mine with a slimline

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - Niall - 15-05-2014

It will be bloody tight getting the angle there but you can just get a pipe through between the expansion tank and the lower pipe inlet.

You bridge two pins on an a/c plug which means when you press the ac button it turns the fans on. There's a thread about it

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - strictly_perv - 16-05-2014

I figured out when I got the slam panel back on and everything urged in the I can easily route a pipe between the rad and slam panel. So I will be getting that sorted next for more direct piping Smile

Yes what SamBarker says, very easy job and most of the time the AC doesn't work in 306's anyway so we may as well put it to use.

RE: I'm back....GTIDI inside - bashbarnard - 06-07-2014

Just out of intrest how do you go about insuring things like this? Also tax and logbook stuff? Might reshell mine into a phase 3 hdi at some point
