Wouldn probaly be more beneficial when the cars moving at some pace to allow a steady cold airflow through there.

On the dyno in front of the car ther will be a huge fan mate

Yes to aid cooling but at the end of the day its not going to represent the force of the air resistance when doing 80mph.

you might want to close the acoustic valve as well while you're at it

that thing was installed by Renault to pass the European noise standards. its open at low revs and closes above 5k rpm

I've put a cloth inside it and the engine pulls better down low

Any damage caused by doing that? Or any other ways of keeping it closed?

yes there is - remove it and use a self tapper to keep it in the closed position - job done

Mine aint far off that

And cheers foxspeed, will look into that! Any more pics would be a bonus though - cars covered in about 4 inches of snow now!

here you go the item on top of the battery thats the valve assembly - just close the flap and then screw in a self tapper to keep the flap closed
