charliemug Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi, had a look round but can't seem to find an answer to this... My Lupo gti is going to be more track focused from now on, so I'm wondering if there is a better radiator than the OEM one? Want to make sure the car keeps cool on track. Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRC Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 on the racetrack i use miller naodrive oil. it keeps the engine a few degrees cooler than others. also, i was trying to use the idea from some golf GTI which use a lower degrees thermostat in warmer countries (like middle orient and so), but i did not find an OEM code...

Rich Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 the loop gti shares a rad with the golf vr6 so I don't think cooling is that much of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Is it overheating / have you tried just using the oem standard radiator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliemug Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for the suggestions! Not had any overheating yet, but just don't really want it to happen on track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I wouldn't worry about it. maybe install a slimline if you're really worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
