hello all!

My Q4 seems powerless with high temp (about 30 degrees), particulary at high rpm.


have you got the same problem?

bye.

I'm not powerless with these high temperatures.
I do have difficulty to cool the engine with the outside wind when the temperature is above 35 degrees and higher :shock:

mine seems ok, except it gets hot very quickly. Plus being black with broken aircon, it gets like a furnace in there! A few times I couldnt hold the top of the steering wheel or gearstick!

above a certain air temperature {probably near 60 degrees Celcius} in the inlet, the air temperature sensor leads the iaw to go to a certain "safe" mode and that leads to less power at high rpm. You might need to mount a "water injection" system for your intercooler or a bigger intercooler or {even better} a water-air intercooler.
I've mounted a "water injection" system in mine and I have less problems now with high temperatures.
