Re: What thermostat/fan switch are you running in your 16v?

[16v Jason <jason@scirocco.org>]

I use the stock thermostat (the original one, actually), with a low-temp 
switch ($13?) from Mark @ Adirondack.  I believe the fan switch is 5'C 
cooler than the stock -- 82' instead of 87'C or something like that?

Anyways, the car runs great.  Slightly above the LED on the temp guage 
almost all of the time.  The fan will come on and stay on "Low" in slow 
driving coniditions at warm ambient air tems (over 70'F, say), and will 
click on "High" when the guage reaches 2/3 of its travel.

No more sitting in traffic with the gauge pegged at the top mark! :)

Oil temps have stayed the same -- average of 112'C.
