I thinks it's a bad idea.  You saves $25 or so, but I suspect your fan motor
will burn out prematurely and the the savings will go up in smoke, so to

when needed.

bypassing the idiotic cooling fan switch or thermal switch- whatever you
wanna call it.  The water temp guage never goes up more than half way up
unless I'm hauling ass on the 'bahn' on a hot day.  Today I drove to
Frankfurt at a steady 180kph(114mph)and the guage barely went past the half
way point then dropped a little below the halfway and stayed there.  And
surprisingly it still warms up quick in the morning and it was kinda cold
today, too.  But I guess what I want an opinion on is if this is a good idea
or not.  So far nothing bad has come of it.  It seems the 1.8 runs so hot
with that cooling fan switch.  Anyone agree?  The Scirocco I had in the
states ran real hot!
