Why have you got your oil cooler in the engine bay?? Especially right near the fan? Would certainly benefit engine oil temps to have it under the car
and away from the cooling fan.

Many thanks
I get asked a lot about parts, which the new or younger drivers want to know about
as its hard to ask a question if you don't know what the part is called...
Lee
PS: I have done away with the doghouse oil cooler and am
using the original fan shroud..
the Oil cooler will eventually be located under the car along with an oil thermostat and spin on oil filter..
but the oil cooler is running cool now with the temperatures we are having.. It would heat the cooling air in the summer...
Engine lid is open at top all the time..

basically, the "dog house" is a section which sits out from the front of the fan shroud (front = front of car), which houses the oil cooler, the hot
air which passes thru the oil cooler then is vented to atmosphere. in older style type 1 engines the oil cooler was in the direct path of the cool air
on its way to cylinders 3 and 4 so the air cooling the cylinders and head was already heated, this created heat issues and was basically a somewhat
flawed design, the doghouse cured this.

the piping from the shoud going to the exhaust is in fact not going to the exhaust but to the heater boxes, which are essentially tubes surrounding
the exhaust headers. this heats the air as it flows past and down the heater channels on the side of the body and if you open your heater flaps, into
the car.
the oil cooler is kind of like a mini radiator but for oil not water, on older engines it sits inside the fan shroud, about inline with the
distributor, oil flows up into the cooler, the air going past reduces the temperature and then it flows back into the engine. in a dog house setup
the cooler is in the same spot but offset so it sits outside the flow route of air heading for the 3 and 4 cylinders and their head, some air is then
directed to the dog house cooler and then this air is vented out of the setup so that the air to number 3 and 4 is not pre heated by the oil
cooler.
make sense?

Wow, that makes perfect sense, thanks alot!
I had an idea about the heating but that just cleared it up
I heard somewhere a while ago that people used to die from exhaust fumes from this set up
That doesnt sound right unless the exhaust was leaking into the heater box

milestones, prior to about 1962 vw had a different type of heaterbox that used air that had passed over the cylinders/head. they are called staleair
heaterboxes (as opposed to the freshair setup on later cars), if you had a leak on the cylinder/head joint you could get carbon monoxide in through
your heaters.

you can still get exhaust into the car even with "fresh" air heating if the exhaust has holes in it. Type 4 kombis seem to be the worst for that.
Burning oil fumes get in too if you have leaking pushrod tubes or tappet cover gaskets. I doubt anyone has actually died from this unless it was their
intention. You'd have to be a masochist to keep the windows up with the car full of fumes. Although I guess it gets pretty damn cold in other parts
where you might put up with a bit more fumes than here.

Wow I'm glad I cam in to this thread. I just learnt a good deal of stuff. Thanks guys.
Oh and would connecting those heater hoses to the box underneath make it a bit warmer in the cabin? Mine are just blocked off. Would it be a big job?

well ideally the heat exchanges are removed and replaced when they block off the heat pipes on the engine, but if they are still there yeah the air
goes from the engine through the heat exchangers (plugs into the top) and into another pipe (on the back of the heat exchanger) that leads to the rear
of the cabin.

pauly my engine is just special
unless you live in antarctica, if the heaterboxes are still fitted to the engine you need the hoses from the shroud connected to them regardless of
whether u want heat or not
the heaterboxes cook the heads without the hoses hooked up
thats why u fit J pipes if u dont want heaters

so is it alright to leave the pipes off with extractors? This wont detract from cooling capabilities?
