Failed Thermostat in 'open' position

posted by  someone claiming to be A Quickle on  Thu Dec 25 12:12 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Quick question - situation is a '98 Volvo S90 with a broken thermostat in the "open" position- Okay, a thorough search of available resources seems to lend credence to a failed thermostat thht failed in the "open" position which leads to "over cooled" engine and needs to be replaced.... Need to know if driving the swedish iron for about 50 miles to get to a mechanic tomorrow will hurt the engine? If it was an overheat problem that would be an obvious NO, but in this condition, it would seem that there should be no long term bad effects from a relatively short, low speed drive... Any comments?
