Thermostat location in 1969 911S

**obrut** · 08-25-2005, 02:02 AM

Should/Do all 69S's have the oil cooler thermostat in the engine bay (as shown in this pic of Bill's beauty)?

Yes.
There are pros and cons for the thermostat locations of the early S models versus the later location of outside and under the rhs wheel well.
Inside the engine compartment makes for a more cluttered(for your mechanic)and hotter environment for the part to work and under the wheel well is more susceptible to road debris damage.
See you shortly on the next drive!

Cheers,
Dennis.

I am really embarassed to ask this, but since I have been having oil temp problems and I do have a '69S, can someone please point me to where in that picture the thermostat is.

Kenikh, you are not alone, i was going to ask the same question.

Over by the oil filter console on the right side.

Egad!!!!!

He does not still have the (self destructing) FRAM filter in there does he?

**kenikh** · 08-25-2005, 08:00 AM

I was wondering about the Fram filter and if anyone used them. I guess the answer is a "NO".

2nd question: was a front oil cooler stock or an option for 69S's?
