help! Thermostat proper position?
I'm and IDIOT. Took out the old thermostat, now don't remember if spring goes towards engine, as in most cars, or away from engine. IDIOT.
Bentley just says remove and replace. OLD hayne's just says to note position (yeah) and that most are spring towards engine. IDOT. I was too busy noting the up/down position to remember the in/out position... 1993 Volvo 240 wagon. Last edited by jtkj; Nov 2nd, 2009 at 03:31. |

LOL. Lesson learned - never work on your volvo on an empty stomach! |
