Hey guys just posting to find out if swapping out my standard watercooled punto mk2 radiator system with an hgt punto mk2 1.9 jtd intercooler is possible and how easy it is. is it a straight swap because my car keeps over heating lately and the single fan on the radiator is doing nothing?
WOAH WOAH WOAH! STOP!
Coolant Radiator = Contains coolant which allows the air to pass through to cool the coolant under pressure
An Intercooler = Is fitted to induction system, as air is passed throught a turbo is becomes super hot, hot air = less dense, so an intercooler is used to allow the flowing air over the Hot air trapped in the intercooler to be cooled to make it more dense making the turbo hella lot more effective!
If the car is overheating, and the single fan which is more then capable of cooling the car down nicely isn't doing its job
Then there is a problem somewhere
Is the fan activating when the temperature reaches just over half way?
Does the fan spin freely?
How quickly does the car overheat?
Tbh with the cool and wet air we have, an overheat in this weather means something has gone horrible wrong
