Re: Thermostat question

[Avi <Avi@cosmoslink.net>]

Not very hard (to change thermostat), but MAKE sure it fits correctly, look
in the book for a picture. If installed incorrectly it will cause your car
to run TOO hot, and cause too much cooling fan activity......not good for
electric consumption...... the "incorrect" position looks better than the
correct way, so be carful, also a wide temperature variety (for
thermostats) is ava. choose the right one for your area,
