Maybe running the tank in the trunk but then now you have to deal with a bunch more plumbing- not to mention having to upgrade to a more powerful pump to flow more water more quickly.
All in all, it just makes more sense to go with an A2A with this car but it's refreshing seeing something different for a change. |
The A/CLA/GLA 45 variants also use W2A, running at 1.8bar all day every day.
The amount of water just means higher thermal mass so longer to heat up, what's more important is how heat is being drawn out.
My setup on the AW11 always has the fan and pump on, the worst I've seen is 100 degrees from the supercharger(yes, they run ridiculously hot) and 50 degrees after the cooler (which is what the 45 AMG runs at), this is after 2 hours of thrashing about in 40 degree heat.
