bengie · 05-04-2005, 18:08

nasty little buggers

mcbunny · 05-04-2005, 18:08

bengie · 05-04-2005, 18:11

no idea, is it on the fabia?

Moose · 05-04-2005, 18:11

Fuel cooler

Moose · 05-04-2005, 18:13

I'm guessing it's directly under where the driver would sit? If so look at my thread about making a Fabia immovable. I suggested removing it, but was told that is a bad idea as its a fuel cooler.

Potster · 05-04-2005, 18:13

I maybe wrong but I'm pretty sure its something to do with cooling the diesel that is returned to the tank!? Bit like a heat sink.

But I maybe wrong....

Damn beaten to it

Chavyboy · 05-04-2005, 18:15

McBunny I did wonder about that to, I remember seeing one on the drivers side but is there one on the passenger side to ?

mcbunny · 05-04-2005, 18:17

nah just drivers side i thought it was a heat sink but couldnt think what for as i couldnt see any pipes going anywhere

ETKA lists a heat dissipator for vehicles with fuel cooling for the ATD engine. It's £116.37 so is best left undamaged. (I don't know if the vRS is fitted with the same fuel cooler).

mcbunny · 05-04-2005, 19:03

well its on a vrs so id say so

It's a carpet tread

It's the bit of trim that fits in doorways to finish off the carpet between rooms nice and neat.....I should know I have hundreds of them in the house

mcbunny · 05-04-2005, 19:36
