In looking at this system my concern is growing that if the thermostat isn't working properly sometime in the future, I won't really know it and could cause the engine to start running hot. Wouldn't it be safter to just disconnect it? The car is mostly summer driven only and might see a few cold morning starts per year. Do these do anything other than aid quick warmup?
Thanks for any suggestions! Bill |
