Now that is something I don't understand. I have read about this a lot.
Shouldn't the thermostat take care of that? If it is REALLY cold, the
thermostat would stay closed more in order to keep the engine at
thermostat temperature. Covering the radaiator would have the thermostat
open for longer times, but the temp of the engine (and the heater) should
still be thermo temp, shouldn't it?
Now if it was so cold outside that the engine would loose so much heat on
its own that the thermo never opens, covering the radiator would be
futile.
What am I missing ?
