turn ign on wipers start dont shut off with intermittant washers ,, am i looking at water ingress or a controller i can vary the speed of wipers but they wont shut off any ideas tia

hi ive got a boost guage and i am seeing 20psi which i thnk is to much might explore lengening actuator rod to reduce boost .

tdi 110 mk1 octy does anyone know what max str this car should see is it like 50 as i am only seeing 40 ecu appears to be cutting down str ir it reaches 40 then cuts down to 30 odd we think that something is triggering ecu into doing this air intake temp we are seeing 30-40 seems way to high on a 5c day also it seems to be over boosting by about 300 -400 mb going up to around 16-18psi on boost guage tia

update it was the thermostat opening to early so car is having some tlc at min as we have found other issues =will start other threads rather than mixing them up

i think what a lot of people do not know is ecu takes this temp and gears all sorts to that temp inc mpg power all sorts and oil needs to be hot to function properly ,,my mate similar engine gets upto 90c in 3 miles

well am going for the stat ive blocked off the entire rad with little effect ,, its the bottom hose which throws me being cold ,,

thats what i am trying to understand , which way does coolant flow ie from under thermostat out through bottom hose through to rad when hot and out of top hose ,, cos at min only top hose is warm coolant flow diagram would be really good

yes heater is good ,,after a few miles vcds says instrument cluster matches ecu temp . trying to understand whats going on but if urs is taking mies to get upto temp as well MMN

ah yes tdi asv engine 8 miles but as coolant temp determines so much with ecu and low oil temp is not good for engines i need this to get upto temp quicker the better

engine is only getting upto 70c after a long drive even after blocking rad off 50 percent , however lower rad hose is not hot ,, top hose is. is thermostat on end of top hose as it goes into block ? howevr considering top hose is not hot does that mean its not open -a diagram of coolant flow would be useful . tia
