My 914, if I drive it awhile, especially on the highway, will slowly get hotter and hotter. I was wondering what the easiest way to check if the flaps/thermostat were working. I can get to the top of the linkage, but does anyone know of a good way to prop it open? I was going to prop it open, go on a long drive and then see if the engine ran cooler...
Any ideas for testing it? |

The bellows pulls the flaps closed when cold. There is a spring on top that pulls against the bellow so that when it gets hot and expands the flaps will open. if you disconect the wire, on top of the engine, coming up to the flaps the spring should pop the flaps open.
then do your test drive.... -Mike D. |
