General Free cooling mod I discovered!

Not sure how much good it will do, but owners of facelift Seicento sportings might wanna give it a go.
Discovered whilst changing a foglight bulb on the nearside (what a horrible job) that theres a big piece of black plastic behind the vent in the bumper.
My sei always overheats in traffic, so I thought what the hell and ragged the plasic out. Anyhoo it looks refittable for winter, and it would be the perfect location for an induction cone

Thought the rad was on the other side?

Removing stuff like that gets you a nice dirty engine bay

My T reg has one under the rad but as the radiator is so fragile I'm leaving it on for protection against stones and other debris that could cause me repair bills. The best cooling tip I've come across is making sure the anti freeze is topped up. Most have summer coolant in so it reduces your overheating dramatically.

Just spent a week holidaying in Devon, 800 miles in a week and no probs at all apart from a tempremental rev counter light.[8D]

That's what I reckon
Yeah the rad is on the other side, but think how much cold air is gonna get forced through that hole at 80mph (one of my major probs is motorway congestion) I'm driving along at motorway speeds, getting the engine nice and hot, and then all of a sudden, reach the M60 (at a standstill as usual) oh dear, temp warning light, heater on full, me burning up LOL
I'll let y'all know if it makes any difference, but its a piece of
p!ss to do - undo 4 screws and pull!
My engine bay is filthy anyway LOL and i'll probably refit it at winter

I had my heater on pouring warm air straight out of the door windows yesterday to cool the poor thing down! Thought the plastic vents were gonna melt!
