    Default Would this improve response?

    Hi All,

    I just had a coolant leak fixed and now I think I am going crazy, the car feel slightly more responsive.

    The items on the invoice were as follows;
    Thermostat,
    Seal,
    Gasket Valley set,
    wash down
    Coolant and some hose clamps.

    The work details were: Removed inlet manifold, replace seals, gasket, thermostat and flush cooling system.

    I asked what the wash down was and he said the inlet manifold was cleaned because of a buildup of gunk inside.

    So Tell me I am crazy and there was no improvement in response resulting from the above. There car just feels a little less tired and a little more crisp on acceleration.

    Cheers,

    Jez

    If the plenum chamber and the throttle body were heavily gunked up, its possible it might feel a little better, but not a lot.
