Thank you!

order the elbow new from AA as I have seen only one used one that wasn't a leaker.

AA = Auto Atlanta?

Do you mean the "stacked" elbow?

Posted by: JawjaPorsche Feb 22 2012, 10:35 AM

I just went to Auto Atlanta and they said the part was no longer available.

Here is what their webpage says:

Elbow for auxiliary air regulator M EA0 098 793

Sorry but that part is no longer available, but there may be other options available. Please call us at 800-792-4944

Hope this helps.

I have just recently obtained 4 of the thermo switches, I put them all in a sub zero temperature environment for days. I took them out one at a time and quickly checked for continuity........none of them ever showed any at all. I think they would be good at about 20 below zero, but I will most likely never be in that environment. This said I doubt my cold start valve will ever be used. The cold start valve has battery voltage applied to it during cranking only and the thermo sensor supplies ground to it only when the temp is extremely cold. In light of this I doubt I would never waste the money on the thermo switch or the cold start valve......In addition the AAR source side should be connected to filtered air at the air cleaner and the other side to the cold start valve housing....no elbow required.

I bought rubber elbows from CIP1 (california Imports) VWC-021-129-639
they used them on the bus. Cheap, Cheap!

This from Brad Anders site on the activation temps for the thermo switches:

311 906 161 : -12 to -18 deg. C / 10 to 0 deg. F
311 906 161 A : 0 to -10 deg. C / 32 to 14 deg. F
311 906 161 B : -2 to -8 deg. C / 28 to 18 deg. F
311 906 161 C : -6 to -14 deg. C / 21 to 7 deg. F

jeff - good point - thanks

per brad anders site - the C appears to be the right TS for your engine - what are the odds

Jim.........Have you checked this one out? What temp does it take to get continuity between the terminal spade and the body?

Posted by: CG-914 Feb 23 2012, 12:47 PM

Did you jim?

Posted by: jimkelly Feb 23 2012, 02:16 PM

no

Will you? This guy is NOT looking for another paperweight, he has enough expenses and troubles already.

Posted by: jimkelly Feb 23 2012, 08:41 PM

i don't know about his troubles - but this one is free to him if he wants it.

i just need his address.

According to Bran Anders Site This sensor Part # 311 906 161 C should show continuity between the terminal spade and the body of the sensor @ 21 to 7 deg. F So....put in the freezer section of your refrigerator ( mine maintaines about 5 below zero F.) Keep it in overnight, take it out and very quickly measure for continuity....(it doesn't take long for the temp to come up so you'll have to be quick......This is a reverse thermister in that the resistance goes up as the temp goes up as opposed to, let's say the head temp sensor where resistance goes down as the temp goes up.

i'll give it a try

Posted by: jimkelly Feb 24 2012, 12:14 PM

i gotta run - but i put my set up in the freezer about an hour ago - and recently -continuity happend : )

video coming... 23 seconds of continuity out of freezer.

Thank you for the great idea!

But this is my fault!:
I'm looking for the doubble albow on the plenum:

Posted by: Rich Bontempi Feb 27 2012, 03:54 PM

We stock the new elbow for $9.95, if you need one. Don't have a thermal time switch.

Thanks, Rich
