 Hello everyone, after being on the 914 club for almost a year, I finally decided to join the 914 world. I don't know what the story is but there has to be something in common here, other than the main topic of course... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Now to the main subject. I was driving on the highway at about 70-75mph for about a half hour yesterday and this is what my temperature gauge was showing. The outside temperature was about 80-85 SoCal. [img] As a matter of fact, the guage takes the longest time to get up. So, I guess there is only two things that can be wrong, the guage or the sensor in the taco plate. Is there a simple way to verify them? Is there some measurement that I can do with a standard voltmeter? Thank you |

Also, if your cable is broken to the cooling flaps, it'll take longer for the engine to warm up.

QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Aug 12 2010, 10:05 AM)  Also, if your cable is broken to the cooling flaps, it'll take longer for the engine to warm up. The PO has removed the thermostat for some reason. I would like to reinstall it. Haven't look yet to see if the flaps are still there. I assume this is not a big job to do. I first need to find a good deal on a used unit. |
