Oh, but it does. Just like when VW used aluminum washer under the TS 2 to **slow down the warm-up**. Customers were complaining about a stumble during warm up. This dumb little washer helped to maintain a slightly richer signal for only a couple of minutes as the engine arrived at operating temperature.
Placebo effect. Cost? Nothing. That little washer wasn't a washer but a spacer (022 133 079) and due to it's size (much bigger than a simple thin washer) delayed (1-2mins) heat due to it's size compared to without.Amskeptic wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2017 5:20 amOh, but it does.

The heat transfer we're talking about as an engine tackles a full-throttle hill is almost momentary but it is critical.
