[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 427005, member: 38"] I always fit them, and advise other people to fit them. Not only does it improve the flow of de-misting air at start up (which won't matter to you if you don't have heat exchangers) it also improves the engine warm up, and as a result your engine will run more nicely. In winter, your engine will never get up to temperature without the 'stat fitted - in winter, mine never opens fully. Running your engine over-cool will increase engine wear, and lead to higher fuel consumption. VW didn't fit it for no reason. :) [/QUOTE]
