Surprised there is no good picture in the factory workshop manual to show position of the flaps in the closed or open positions.
In this picture it is in the fail-safe position as if the cable or thermostat wasn't working. Just want to make sure they are correct. When hooking up the thermostat wire the flaps would both move as the little "lever" would move down. Just seems strange that in the fail-safe mode it covers up the oil cooler- you 'd think it would want air going over and through the cooler to allow the engine to run cooler if the thermostat failed...  |
