Subject:      Thermostat on aircooled - how dos it work?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Hi


I have tried to figure out how the thermostat on my aircooled 1982 2.0 Vanagon works.


I can see the thermostat housing, the cable, the pulley, and the flaps regulating the cooling air.


I do understand that when the thermostat gets hot, it should expand.


But from looking at wiring and my engine when it is hot, I cannot see that the wired gets pulled and that the "flaps" does open.


Can someone explain the full theory for me on the thermostat, the cable and the "flaps"?


I know that I need to pull the thermostat, and test it - but still - I would really like to get the idea of how this setup should function.


Happy driving


Jens Jakob
