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!
