Ya know I found that the thermostat rod pulled out of my thermostat this spring, the threads were shiny so it had just happened and although the threads looked good they were just worn enough that it wouldn't thread into the thermostat until it was about a half inch in. Fortunately I did get it to thread in enough deeper and it seems to be holding but has anyone had a rod pull out of a thermostat? BTW, John, where are you stayin in Myrtle creek? I wouldn't want to miss an Unscheduled tech session :-) Keith Feeling through the hole in the tin revealed that the rod for the cooling flaps had fallen down against the plug. Oops. Fortunately, I had the spring in the system that caused the flaps to fail open so I never overheated the engine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
