Just purchased a thermo from a fellow 914Club member and it appears that it does not work? I've done the hot water test and the thing does not expand at all? It appears to be in good shape so I was wondering if these can be repaired? Guidance is appreciated!

If you only plan on using the car in warm weather, then a thermostat isn't really that important. Leaving it out is also an option. The car may not warm up as quickly when it's cold out, but as far as I know, it's by no means bad for the motor to leave it off. The flaps will close in the safe position, and will give max cooling air to parts that need it.
I ran my car for years without a thrermostat, with no realy problems. Even on cold days, it just took longer for the motor to warm up... -Josh2 |
