#1: 206 induction kit overheat Author: nstickey, Location: st.albans hertfordshirePosted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 8:05 am ---- Basically I put an induction kit in my car, but now when I accelerate past 70mph my car seems too go over the halway mark and overheat. Then when I slow down my temperature gauge drops to cold... Isn't it supposed to be the other way around ? Anyone have any solutions as too how too fix this problem ? Thankyou

#4: Re: 206 induction kit overheat Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 9:22 am ---- there's alot of debate about open filters but all i know is the engine will suffer from heat soak, unless a cold air feed is fitted. Dont know if this is the main cause of overheating someone else might be able to help

Until you do that you don't know if it definitely is the induction system that is making it overheat or a coincidental failure of head gasket, thermostat or header tank screw cap. Also check the coolant level - you could have damaged a hose while fitting the induction system.
If your induction is close to the exhaust then it will be sucking hot air straight into the engine possibly causing the over heat and sucking hot air will also reduce power even if it wasn't over heating. So many cone intakes reduce power simply because they are sucking hot air straight from the engine bay. Once running and for maximum power you want the air going into the engine to be as cold as possible.
That is the thing with the original design. It might be a bit restrictive and go through a few bends but at least it is sucking cold air.

Either that or use some ducting to relocate the filter to the top of the intake side, cut a hole where the bonnet vents are and duct straight to the filter. Or leave it as is, take out a fog and get the ducting in there!
