Re: distilled water success story... Posted by JimBlake [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: distilled water success story..., Kevin K ![]() |
I thought I had replaced the t-stat before, but I can't find it. I usually keep good track of that stuff, so I must be thinking of a different car. That means the T-stat was original (is it 89C?). It was stainless steel & was not stamped that I could see. Radiator & fanswitch had never been replaced before.
If I jumper the fanswitch with the ignition on, it will run both fans. If I jumper it with ignition off, it runs RH only. That's the way it has always worked.
Got new Wahler 82C t-stat & fanswitch. The new radiator is brass, Jim M. said it was for turbo, but it looked almost identical. I didn't bother to count tubes or fins, that's probably the only difference. But the original had a nice drain nipple & I could use a hose. The new one has a plastic plug & it drains all over the crossmember & grounds.
Before, the temperature gauge always read just under 1/2, and I don't get stuck in traffic very much. The only way I could get the fans to run is idle in the garage. Fans would come on just about 3/4.
After, the gauge stays at about 1/4, & the fan generally runs for about 30sec after shutdown.
