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? |

Under trunk mounted oil coolers are worthless. I have 3 sitting here taken from cars with front mounted coolers now. Even with a fan.. all the fan is doing is moving the heated air from the exhaust around the oil cooler. If you want a real live working solution.. it will be front mounted (promise)
