Please Help
Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie when it comes to the 951, but not a newbie with regards to Porsches. I sold my '67 912 last summer, and just recently bought an '87 944 Turbo with 77K miles on it. Bone stock.
I have been picking my brain here, and thought I would ask for some opinions before I started messing around it.
The car I just bought was from Florida, and I just got it a couple of days ago. It's a balmy 5 degrees here in Indiana right now, and I have absolutely no heat in the car. The heater controls sound like they are cycling, but no heat is coming out. In fact, the car itself will not get up to temperature. I drove it 25 miles on the way home tonight, and the temperature guage stayed in the lower 1/8 of the scale. I "bled" the cooling system and pressure fed new coolant. I also pressure tested the system. It looks like it is filled correctly.
Since the car is from Florida, I am thinking the PO removed the thermostat. Would having the thermostat removed keep the car running as cool as it is? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks alot, Mike in Indiana
