Ferrari Mailing List: Re: thermal valve or bimetal thermostaat

[Paul Bennett (pbennett]

Interesting as my 1980 308US is samo samo.  Rear thermo-part (narrow brass) not connected. Forward thermo-part (wide brass) is connected.   I've known that there is only ONE expansion tank electrical thermo-switch and it operates the cold start circuitry.  Why the factory thermo-groupy has chose to ride along, who knows.

I'm going to take a flyer and guess the tank is universal for Euro and US and comes fitted with both parts
if not to plug the holes which are different size soas to make a universal tank.

Can you send me a url to download the parts.pdf you have?  Greatly appreciated.

For a 1981 308 GTSi:

 

Remember last week I said I was going to take my water reservoir out ? Well I did it.

There are 2 , let's call them valves, valves on the right side of the reservoir. That is when you're standing behind the rear bumper as you take the reservoir out. I don't know which is which because in the parts manual they are never shown together:

TAV. 16 picture #13 part #115150, it says THERMAL VALVE

TAV. 19 picture #64 part #115471, it says BIMETAL THERMOSTAT

 

So, which is which?

 

The one close to the rear screw holding the reservoir has been disconnected for 9 years (I bought the car like that). It has KLIXON 23 VT and 52 AF 4 VOT written on it. The other one that is more toward the front is connected. I would like to change it. It has 9055 202  50/4C 8714 written on it.

 

Thanks for the help!
