i have a 1999 vw beetle and it over heats when i sit in traffic and i was wondering if a cold air intake will help any to keep the engine cool ???
a cold air intake is simple a way so ur engine can breathe cooler air creating a better engine combustion therefore it can increase horsepower this will not stop you car from over heating check your coolant. hoses. or anything that may cause this problems also. i believe if the radiator cap is open it sucks in air and it makes ur car over heat my mechanic sucked out the air with a machine and put the cap back on and it stopped my bmw from overheating (but if im mistaken, it has to be a part where u put coolant but not on the little container) i hope i helped a bit!
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/1xRFn They still spray the leaves with pesticides to keep nova off during growth and harvest so, you'll always be smoking poisons.
It's true. 100% additive free (since 2008 if I remember correctly) it's not printed on the pack but is on the carton, also on R.J. Reynolds website
NO, the cold air is for intake into the throttle body. Your issue lies in either a water pump, radiator, or radiator hoses.
Cold air intake is a system to bring cold air into the throttle body and the mass air flow sensor in your car adjusts the fuel mixture accordingly. This is to make more power. Your car is overheating due to other factors. The air going into the car will not help it cool down as once it mixes with the fuel and ignites it creates far more heat from the combustion in the engine. The cold air is simply more dense than regular air, mixing the appropriate fuel mixture makes more power. What DOES cool down the car is your cooling system. - Coolant - Fan - Radiator - Passageways through the motor and coolant system - Water pump - Thermostat There's more than that, but those are the biggest things to remember. Your best bet is to have your car diagnosed to see what portion of your cooling system is at fault. Cold air intake will help /more power/ not overheating. Remember to keep in mind if the car is overheating you will be having issues, just sitting in traffic it may read towards the tip of the needle, but unless it's actually into the red it's just running on the hotter side of the specrtum. Either way if it's a concern bring it in and have it looked at. If you are not a really mechanically savvy person the things you can do yourself to take care of your cooling system: - Check on a regular basis during the seasons the condition of your coolant hoses. Any cracking hoses and seeping should be dealt with and fixed. - Look for contaminants in the coolant, a 50/50 mix should look pretty green. Blackish or brownish or dirty looking coolant should be flushed. - Spray off your radiator to keep dust/dirt/mud/rocks out of it once in a while when you wash your car. A clean radiator cools better. Just like a heat sink for any other machinery, a dirty heat sink has a more difficult time absorbing the heat or providing cooling. (Good example is computer fans and heatsinks and dust, think of your car that way, it can't cool itself that well if it's dirty) and keep it clean.
