Another Mechanical Failure
Grassroots Motorsports
This is what your car’s thermostat should not look like. I had a feeling this was the reason why my Mini was running warm. This stuff happens to all of us, right?

looks like someone was using tap water instead of a 50/50 mix

nope, that never happened to me. Thermostats never were involved with such carnage.

This must be thermostat month. In addition to the wagon, it looks like I have to do the Golf, too.

Thats what happens when you don’t grease your thermostat bearings.

Wish I had taken a picture. Was working on a friend’s 96 neon with heating issues. My findings were a spring, a couple of metal pieces and alot of corrosion! Was not a pretty, looked like the pic.
Put in the new t-stat and all is well.
