My 90 vanagon was running a bit to cool for any good heat and so I figured
the thermostat must be stuck open. The gauge would not go past the little
white mark on the bottom. Today I replaced the thermostat and it's running
much hotter the gauge now hovers between the red indicator light and slightly
above. I now have heat. I am just worried if this is to hot or normal? I
don't remember since It was running so cool for so long. the original
thermostat says 87 deg centigrade the new one is an after market rated at 190
deg Fahrenheit. I think that's close enough. Any one have any insight on
this? thanks John 1990 vanagon GL 2.1
