Everyone who has has an R32 has had this problem.  The mode door actuator sticks.  Have a fiddle with the actuator arm while you change the mode on the dash.  If you are lucky it will unstick and work for another couple months before it sticks again.  Either that or its completely fkd and you need to fix and or replace it.  In either case have a google and you will find it behind the centre console panel thing below the glove box.

I was told by the seller when i bought my car that the blend door motor was broken when i got my r32, he had purchased another one already so gave it to me with the car, however upon investigation i found the 'broken' one was just unplugged, so i plugged it back in and it worked fine, however the stupid computer deciding for me : ooo he's dropped the temperature so he must want the air on his feet as that will be too cold for this face kind of behavior resulted in me disconnecting the blend door from its motor, and now i just adjust manually reaching under the steering column, not hard, can do while driving.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
