I would not worry.

We drove our '90 744 TI for almost 3 years with a thermostat that was doctored to stay open. Only after I found out that the electric fan was siezed and replaced it did I think to have the thermostat checked.

Aside from a small increase in mileage and much better heat, we noticed no difference after it was repaired.
