I foolishly asked this question on VW Whoretex and have started a miniature war about whether or not to use a cooling fan and so forth - amusing as it is, I'm...
You shouldn't need a fan while on track. The cars movement should be enough. Make sure that the water flow through the radiator is not restricted. Use a...
Disclaimer: I have ZERO road racing experience! In the Street Mod car I have a huge (11"x9"-ish?) B&M oil cooler and the stock Mk1 Scirocco radiator, with a...
I dont know if this is helpful or not but the side by side dual fans off of a B3 Passat will work on an A2 radiator and should keep things plenty cool- I ran...
... You're talking the rear, sucking-fan shroud? What about the plastic ( ) shrouds on each end of the radiator? I vote with Neal -- little flat fan on...
Hello road racer! Watter wetter is ok but 40below works MUCH better! (I use it in my 3rd gen RX7 400hp and we race in the desert heat. first time I saw the...

Another note about radiator shrouds: I tend to belive in them smart guys at the factory knowing what they're doing. My other ride (other than The One True...
HI, I have an 88 16V that I autox/ PDX, and was having the same problem. First, look where the coolant temp sensor is located. It is directly above #4 exhaust...
I grabbed mine from a VR6 GTI. I recall them being the same, don’t hold me accountable though. You are looking for the one with the serpentine belt drive...
Matthew, Yes, you need a much bigger oil cooler. This will help the water temps also. My 16V 2.0L track 'rocco gets by with an early A-1 radiator with no...
Would anyone out there happen to have a Rabbit power steering fluid reservoir and bracket they could sell? Thanks! Geoff [Non-text portions of this message...
WOW!!! Many, many thanks for the intelligent and thought-provoking replies. I've been on Whoretex too long and had all but written off the internet as...
... I'd go ducting first, too, but the wee "transmission cooler" type fans, it's like they're not even there, compared to the factory unit, you'll like. $60ish...
P.S. Yo, yo need like, a freon jet spray bar in front of that radiator! With a neon strobe light, that'd be phat! ; ) CP ************** Gas prices getting you...

Yo, unless your car has got RM's and is dumped it is lame :-) _____ From: vwautox@yahoogroups.com [mailto:vwautox@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Matthew Yip ...
For ducting, I've used super-thin aluminum sheet with good success. That & Gorilla duct tape. PSA - not all duct tape is created equal. There may well be ...
What about just removing the t-stat all together? The t-stat is restricting the flow of coolant. Or just take the "guts" of it out..leaving the metal ...
Yes, please check to see if you still have it please! Geoff ... From: Devan To: vwautox@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 9:50 PM Subject: Re: Power...
The use of aluminum for ducting is good. Lighter then plastic. Regarding using tape. I have found the aluminum tape that is sold in the HVAC dept. of most home...
I have some aluminum duct tape left over from when I had central a/c added to my house - now I'll have a "real" use for it <G> The only drawback that I see to...
Leather gloves are your friend. :) If you do the whole aluminum shroud, I'd love to see pics of it. Maybe it's been discussed, but what about 2 (or as my as...
I ,Al Frankin, have experienced mediocre performance from pusher fans. Suckers work more efficiently and don't divert natural air flow when not running. What...
I remember autoxing my 16v passat wagon, and seeing the temp gauge at about 230 after a run, on a 50 degree day in spring. It has functional dual fans and...
... Temp guage had numbers? Or was this an aftermarket gauge? Or MFA display oil temp readout? CP ************** Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos...
I have several pairs of leather work gloves - albeit from Harbour Freight which means that they're 1) thinner than latex gloves and 2) falling apart BEFORE the...
... Yup. A guy I know could not explain it to me - why fans work so much better as "the locomotive" or "suckers," but summed it up with "what's easier -...
I am looking for a source for an underdrive pully for a 16V. I have deleted the Power Steering and AC. I am using the single waterpump pully off of a 1985...
