<DIV>hey all,</DIV>
<DIV>i was talking with a buddy of mine recently.&nbsp; his name is wolfgang, an old school vw mechanic from germany who went to vw school and all that jazz.&nbsp; anywho i was asking him about installing the tstat that is available that opens at a lower temp then the stock vw tstat.&nbsp; i think the one is for audi but i am not certain.&nbsp; i believe the difference is 85 degree c versus 80 degree c. not too&nbsp;big a margin, but definetely a difference.&nbsp; anyway, he told me to stay away from this because our vans (mine is a 90) need to run at a certain temp in order for certain sensors to work properly ie; fuel injection,&nbsp;tII switch, etc....&nbsp; he claims that if the van is running cooler then certain signals are not getting passed throught the ecu properly thus not letting our vans run properly.&nbsp; he says that they are designed to run a little hotter then most cars and thats just the way it is.&nbsp; does anyone else know anything about this?&nbsp; it sounds reasonable but i am still not sure.&nbsp; i would like to make my van run cooler but if it was desiged to run hotter, then who am i to change it.</DIV>
<DIV>just curious</DIV>
