Type 4 Thermostat

  1. I've got two that are opened up.. Can they be fixed by squashing/ soldering if split is accessible or does anyone know where to get one/alternative.. Look to be hard to come by...

    16.oo or type 4 you can buy new for both from VWH the type 4 just needs an easy modification comes with explanatory diagram . Think they are about £65 or 70 .
     
  4. Be careful if buying a second hand one, make sure they are closed when cold as I have seen many on fleebee in the open postion so there fore had it. Sometimes you can be lucky, I did get a good complete type 4 fi set up for £20.00 which I hope is staying in my spares box

    The ones VW Heritage sell, which require modification, fit and work really well on a Type 4 - the mod suggested is really easy to do!

    Yeah they do..there isn't a lot that can be done about it though, shorter than paying a small fortune for a correct one, if you can get one!

  12. Think I paid around £100 for a new one with all fittings. Not too bad. But you're right, people like a bargain :)
     
  13. Sorry, 20 degrees!
