Maybe you can find an NOS one somewhere or adapt a Type 1 as described. VW engineers put this stuff on the engine so it would warm up quickly and stay at a temperature that results in good performance and low engine wear. I use mine, re engineer at your own peril. All of this "you don't need it" is pulled out of the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burro.gif) . Nobody has tested their engine to failure both ways to form an informed opinion.

Johnnie, I'm at the shop right now and will check today and have an answer tonight. It really only depends if it's working or not because I know I'm not going to need it.
