finally no more getting too hot,
remote filter unit (Perma-cool)
removes oil filter from being blasted with hot air at the exit point of the air cooling system for cyl 3 & 4 AND the hot air coming down from standard oil cooler
also gives a far larger exit hole for the hot air from these cylinders
very easy to change filter , & it is a VW Golf filter , considerably less than half the cost of a Kombi fliter & available everywhere,
Oil cooler is a high quality matrix type 11" X 8" (large) fitted horizontally & up out of harms way , air flows over both top & bottom , & if need be (doubtful at this point) a scoop will be put at the REAR of it,
(negative pressure) air will get sucked over it, but dirt won't get forced in
and.. 6 metres of hose lines.
disadvantage over kombiluva's set up is that this does not at present have a thermostat, although it can be fitted
I am not too worried as I run very thin oil
(HPR 5) & have designed a sliding cover for the cooler to fit in winter
I am grateful to Richard at V-force for the suggestion of how to set up, & supply of the bits, I never would have thought of fitting the cooler horizontal, but it sure does work

One very neat looking job!

There's still plenty of warm weather to come this year.

funny actually I fitted the oil cooler on Saturday in 40 degree heat & just had time to take it on a worst conditions I could find drive, then a col change came through & then rain & still rain:jesus
forgot to mention that it now runs 15 degrees F cooler No holes drilled anywhere either , brackets look a bit crappy but they were fabricated in a hurry

how much for the cooler ?

I think that was $120, I bought a lot of bits, American Auto parts was $126 for one only 3" X 8" & other places were mostly over $200 for anything useful

Sweet

Excellent work Kim :thumb

Kim,

Is that your heater pipe wrapped in something in the third photo? If so, what is it and does it make a difference?

it is wrapped in some sort of plastic , with nominal amount of insulation & has been there from new (75 microbus deluxe) I can't tell you what sort of difference it makes because I have not yet got the heaters working
