I am putting the finishing touches on my engine reseal project and I just noticed that my thermostat is shot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Everyone including AA and Pelican lists them as NLA. I found the link below showing how to convert a T1 to work on a T4, and they have the T1 for $107 CDN. I couldn't even find a T1 anywhere else (bughaus, busdepot, cip1). German Supply - T1 to T4 thermo conversion Anybody else been through this recently? PS I would be fine with a good used one if anyone wants to PM me. |

The type 1 thermostats are rated at a lower temp so they aren't as effective as the type 4 version for getting the car warmed up. I think they are 150 vs 180. I read that the version for a fuel injected 75 bug is hotter, not sure.
These are from samba classifieds nos, not bad http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=147112 some others http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1180908 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=378506 |
