I was putting the engine tin back on the engine and though I should reattach wire/cable from the bellows to the flapper arm and check it for full operation.
I used a heat gun and it took about 30 seconds - video shortened a bit. It starts out in cold engine mode (flaps diverting air away from cylinders and away from oil cooler). As it warms up it moves to full cooling mode (flaps diverting air across cylinders and oil cooler). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpTWUNm1Qn8 |

I've had my car for about 3 years now, and I had been assuming that the temperature gauge didn't work, or was disconnected. I finally got to take the car for a real drive this fall, and the gauge actually moved! Now I'm assuming my flaps don't work, and are stuck on full cool. Thanks for the video!

If the wire from the bellows to the flap arm is broken/missing the flaps "default" to full cool. Some builders permanently position the flaps at full cool. They should be used - there is a reason they are there (warm up). |
