[Vwdiesel] *81 Rabbit overheating*

[Rolf Pechukas]

looking at the shopanddrive.com catalog
I'm seeing 2 t-stats for my Rabbit
one 87°C and one 71°C (!)
maybe you guys with the bad heat should swap t-stats - maybe you all  
have the 71c
low one is Behr
high is Wahler

the new one I got is a Stant (?)
just confirmed w/ the dealer that it is a 92°C t-stat (he said it  
opens at 195°f - close enough)
so maybe my system is actually working
