Hi folks,
I gave in. I put a 71 degree thermostat in may car the other week. Why so cold? Because I fugured that cold engine meant less heat soak means more power. My plans were dashed when the engine got quite warm. This was the time I blew a heater hose and did my bush mechaic repair on the side of the road. So I took it out and went back to no stat. Now with the hot weather my car gets warm when I accelerate too much or run boost for too long and when the A/C is on, other than that it is fine. It could idle in traffic all day with the A/C flat out. So what next? Anyone have any suggestions for how I can keep the car cool ? Would using the recommended stat make any difference? I hate having to drive home at 90-100k's to keep the temp down! |
