Hi,
Is this the correct positioning for the cooling flaps with a cold unexpanded bellows? Somehow I think the rod may have been bent or the flaps twisted by the previous owner. I want to hook up the thermostat so I can have a wintertime heater. Thanks...Dan Attached thumbnail(s) |

Looks like you have the heads on the wrong sides....Cht belongs on passenger side.....if your going to carbs...no problem....If FI, you might have to run a wire from harness to CHT...Just an observation Look again...I believe the CHT is on the passenger side. The photo was taken from the flywheel (engine rear, front of car) side. BTW, this is going in a 912E. Look again...I believe the CHT is on the passenger side.

Ok for the position of the engine in the 912E- Yes ( passenger side ) , position for the CHT sender to operate with Fuel Injection- NO , the CHT needs to be over the Number 3 cylinder to capture the hotest cylinder -per Porsche / VW configuration. We ( the forum members ) are trying to help with some advise . Good Luck , and do hope you get it running well. Jack / Jaxdream They aren't trying to bust your balls. They are trying to help you save an engine. Your CHT is on the #2 cylinder. It belongs on the #3 cylinder. We can clearly see it on the drivers side. Take the time to take it apart and reassemble the it the correct way now while its only a few hour job. Haste makes waste. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
