Re: [T3] Flickering Engine Oil Light at Idle


<x-charset iso-8859-1>>1) I'm missing an elbow pipe that connects the cooling fan housing to the
rear heat exchanger on the right side.  The left side one is ok.  Can this
cause overheating?

Yes, you are dumping some of your cooling air straight out of the fan shroud
instead of sending it over the engine to cool it.  I would cap it off with
a cut-off soda can for now until you can find that piece.  Start with that
and see if it fixes the problem.

My thermo looks like that right now too, mostly because it is hot outside
even in the morning right now.  It looked "normal" when it was cooler.
