Thread: 306 HDi track project
Post: RE: 306 HDi track project
Sorry for never responding here, I had a phenomenal amount of interest in the 12 hours the car was advertised and simply didn't think to check back. I hope your eldest finds an alternative soon. |

Post: RE: reducing warm up time and increacing cold day ...
These engines are massively over-cooled as standard, you'll be fine using a smaller rad so long as you keep your rad fans in working order. I've used a 1.8td fiesta rad as the ports are in a similar p... |

The fuel returning to the tank is not filtered, it comes straight from the injectors/hp pump. My personal theory is that the swarf (it's not rust) is actually from fuel station pumps wearing. There is... |
