View Full Version : 4 years under the belt
Just had the 40k service done and thought an appropriate time to look back on 4 years of turbo coupe reliability: years 1-3 leaking coolant hose replaced under warranty. Year 4 coolant temp sensor, thermostat, cooling system ecu, auxiliary water pump all replaced and also had to fix cts earthing problem – kind of a common theme developing, glad I got the water pump replaced along with the timing belt! What is it with the cooling system on these beasts?

Hi, was just wondering if you can explain a bit more about the earthing problem as i'm pretty sure this is causing the problem with my traction control system? What is cts?
Thanks.
