I'm wondering how quickly an L-jet 1.8 (1974) heats up. I drive mine for about 10 or 15 minutes and the needle on the temperature guage gets a little bit past halfway and just keeps going up. The temperature guage is one in the central console. Is there somethin wrong with the cooling system? How does the cooling system work exactly. Does the fan simply blow air over the heads? The defroster and heating elements in the interior work and blow hot air when they're on.
Thanks for any help. |

When the engine is cold the wire from the thermostat to the bar between the flaps should be tight as the engine gets hot and the thermostat expands the wire should become loose and allow the spring loaded flaps to open.
