Hi All-
I just installed a thermostat+bracket from AA in my '73 2.0 as the PO had removed the original hardware and was running with the flaps full-open. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The design looks quite different than the OEM one. It looks to my novice eyes like a Beetle thermostat. I have a few questions that I'd appreciate any help with: Does anybody know the story behind the AA thermostat? Is it a modified beetle stat like it looks? If it fails, will it fail with flaps open or closed? (I think the OEM stat was designed to fail with flaps open -- please correct me if I'm wrong...) Is the temperature operation close to OEM? Anybody use one? How did it work for you? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Then you need tools to release the bellows cable from the little crossbar. On the side of the road. Bent over the car. Perhaps in the dark or the worst possible time. Better a unit that fails on the safe side.
