What Can I Do

[luke_clifton]

Now that the days are getting slightly hotter, my underbonnet temps have risen (obviously). I have no heat sheilds on my downpipe, and the added heat is boiling my brake & clutch fluid. Braking can be scary when this happens.

I'm going to book my car in for some work very soon which will include changing the 2 fluids, but do you think i should attempt to refit my old heat shield (the chimney), or get the downpipe off and wrap it.

Thank you.

Mine was fine last year. Maybe i just need to replace the fluids (deano did recommend they needed changing back in march).

Wrap it. I've done mine and Vicky K's doesn't get as hot.

Is your brake fluid turning black?

Both the brake & clutch fluid, is a very dark gold color.
