Hi, A week or so ago I reported some overheating problems with my new DeLorean. My conclusion then was that the waterpump or thermostat was broke. Today as a test I drove the car with the heating on full blast because someone told me that if the engine overheats, and the heater stil works the waterpump is ok and the thermostat is probably broke. To my syrprise I drove the car for aprox. 30 miles at aprox 65 mph and the engine wouldn't heat up further than the 180F mark. Great news as this means my waterpump works and (new conclusion) the otterstat is broke. The fan cirquit works because short cirquiting the otterstat wires triggers the fans. My question; is there a non messy way to change the otterstat. Since it is located at aprox. the lowest point in the cooling system I would think a total drain of the system is needed to properly change it. Other question; is there something against shorting the otterstat wires until the otterstat is replaced (causing 100% fan operation)? Last question; Is the otterstat (and it's grommet) a DeLorean specific item or can I use a part from another car (Volvo?)? As seen in M:15:01 Thanks, Sacha #16187 #17115
