I have a question and would like a "wide" view point from this forum on Thermostat/Flaps on a 914
Mine are missing - and I've rcvd one comment saying that they are NOT really necessary. Can I get some inputs on this topic - while doing some work on my car (I'm a newbie) yesterday - I noticed that the thermostat, thermostat housing, and thermostat cable are missing - only have the pulley. In addition - where the EFFIN are these flaps? Cause if they are not needed and they are in place - they could be a problem, right? thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

They are at the top of the fan housing where it joins the engine sheetmetal. If they are still there you should be able to see the metal rod that connects the flaps. The cable connects to a bracket on this rod, which is spring loaded and defaults to the engine warm position. I agree, you need the flaps. |
