[QUOTE="Earlybay1, post: 639418, member: 28615"] Delete flaps and stat. They are only useful in an artic zone. The engine always warms up quickly enough in our moderate zone. I have a 912 Porsche engine in a beetle and a T2 van 1600 and both are flapless and never have a problem. In the fully warmed up condition they are open anyway. When Beetles were daily drivers I could see the logic why VW installed them for cold days and US emissions. I drove a beetle with no flaps on cold days and never had a warm up problem. Save your money and spend it on an air freshener! [/QUOTE]
