Andy-


We faced the same difficulty in repairing our 1982 Westfalia: missing
thermostat/flaps, etc.


You can get the thermostat and cable and through list vendors or VW. The
cable-end nut, pulley and rotational bolt were NLA at my VW dealer, but it
seems that some parts guys are craftier than others. The flaps, bushings
and closure spring are junk yard items. A kind-hearted soul on one of the
bus lists sent me a set of all the missing gear, as I couldn't find a set
around here. Perhaps another listee has a dusty set of this stuff they can
put in your hands.


Good for you for getting those!

Does any one know where I can purchase the complete thermostat control
system for a 2 litre aircooled engine. I need everything flappers , rods,
cable, thermostat. I've been driving around with no problems... at this
point. My lube oil temperature stays around 180 degrees F until I start
climbing some steep mountains. My temp would be around 240-260 and oil
light
comes on at idle. It makes since that the left flapper may contribute in
cooling off the oil cooler. Is there anyone that has a good used one
complete or does Bus Depot carry these parts? Thanks
