>Dear Volks, > >I've been watching the posts for about a week now, but thought I'd introduce >myself. Though I maybe a newbie, my problem with the van is an old one: >overheating. Currently, I am driving this van without a thermostat. This is a common remedy for overheating, and is probably only dangerous in really cold climes. It will slow your engine's warmup time, so the engine will run "cold" for a longer period after cold-startup. This is unlikely to cause harm unless the weather is very cold prolonged periods and the vehicle is used frequently Other opinions? -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
