no crack, just some moisture has gotten into the vicinity of the coolant temp sensor - hence why this issue has popped up.

mine's exactly the same. the spark is retarded by a seemingly insanely rich AFR to begin with, but once the engine begins to reach operating temperature (which is usually induced by opening the throttle right up, hence slightly leaning the AFR - which in effect increases CHT and EGT respectively), all is fine - and the car drives nicely.

plus, no harm done running a turbocharged car just a bit rich is there now
