Does anyone have a good reference on how to adjust the spring thermostat that controls the air flapper? Thanks -L |

teh beauty of VW engines is that everything fails just like it should--in the more favorable condition.
The bellow, when the engine is cold...is PULLing on that little bar in the engine compartment. If your bellow is damaged ( like i suspect it is) your cooling flaps will fully open, allowing the cooling system to function semi-normally. it's not like a wasser-cooled engine, where the thermostat COULD stick closed...like it did on my jeep. Its a PITA to say the least. b |
