Right, but someone else did... and it was something he had already purchased by the time I called him - anyway, the Chinese thermoastat does NOT fit
, so he's putting the old one back in.
I told him to run the check on the fan clutch, which he'll do as soon as he re-assembles the old thermostat into the car.
He did mention to me that he recalls that earlier today he had parked the car and left the engine idling for a little while and the fan had kicked on moments later as never before... perhaps that's somehow related.
