Was it the coolant mate?

Yup.. I know exactly what happenned and why...  During the S3 Intercooler install, my brother-in-law removed the coolant hose next to the air intake by mistake.  We reclamped it but had to pull it slightly so reconnect it.  What happenned was that unbeknown to us, the hose when pulled was rubbing slightly against the radiator fans and over the next week was gradually cut away until it burst on my run today  :sad:

Not too much of a problem in that its only a hose replacement thats needed, but as I'm getting an oil/filter change and spark plugs this week at VW, so may as well get the Master Tech to take a look - he knows what he's doing as he's an enthusiast and built his own Mk2 1.8T conversion.  I am thinking that the hose may have been secured by clamps which may have come off.

gareth, sell back you bluefin map, and go buy a dsg box, back to standard and happy days!  :smiley:

Ah but life's not a 1/4 mile sprint Steve  :wink: :grin: :driver:
arh, but from a day to day LEGAL usage on the public highways, theres not much in it unless you go into high speed, then the ed30 is a true weapon.Convert the torque into grip and an old mans auto box  :signLOL:, you have a VERY quick car!
Goes to show all that power is great if you can control the traction.
Have to say nathan, your car stood out for me at the weekend. She looked fantastic mate, and you should be proud of what youve done to her . Big  :happy2: from me.
Hurdy your car is just insanily quick!,  and Ben what is your secret!!!!!. I was tempted to ask Ben if we had time to go down the strip in my car to see if its driver skill that he does soo well or is it his car. Perhaps may be a good test nxt time out?.

Ben - Where did your additional 5mph terminal speed come from mate?

It's only 3.7mph actually..  :wink: :grin: But to be fair, I do think that the right lane may of had calabration errors on the speeds, as it was generally 2-3mph more that my left lane runs. Noticed it with one of Jonny's runs as well too (he did a 115mph in the left lane). Also the right lane did spaz out a couple of times (Luca ran a 131mph and I saw a VXR get 118mph too, even though it ran 103mph on others).. Just an observation, but could be wrong..  :confused:
Did get a 109mph in the left lane though, so still an improvement either way.  :smiley:

For me the speeds (and times) were very consistent between lanes..

I did my first two runs in the right hand lane, and saw..

119.54 MPH
118.30 MPH

Then my second two in the left hand lane..

118.60 MPH
115.76 MPH (this was because I had the problem with the launch AGAIN!!! As a result I was just over 3mph down at the 1/8th mile, so again would have been a 118 MPH run arrgh..)

Also, my speedo was reading over just over 130mph lol..
