Check all pipework for leaks etc. Also check the exhaust for blows. It may need to go on a diag though in case a sensor wire has been pinched or something. Also as CWS said the cams may of been adjusted differently. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

might want to check the inlet manifold gasket. Might not of been replaced when the head gasket was replaced and is sucking in air when it shouldnt be. |

Cylinder head was sent off to be pressure tested and skimmed and surely would have been picked up by them The car did overheat but was before the red area ________________________________________ Audi S3 Black Edition |

All them gaskets were replaced, the lad i use is very trustworthy + if it was drawing air in from there it would more than likely run rough  ?________________________________________ Audi S3 Black Edition |
