Make sure you dont have a single port fan in there.
it's a common mistake and sounds like the problem.
Those are dangerzone temps your running
There is only one size fan for doghouse/twinport engines.
Like barls said the single port fan looks the same but is about 1/4" shorter at the oil cooler end so keeps the cylinders and heads cool but nukes
the oil through lack of air flow

If there is not much air flow out of the dog house cooler you need to check that the cooler is not full of crud, this could be the problem

HI
when My Son bought Me an alternator it had a fan on it...
and naturally I thought it would have been a doghouse fan..
so, I installed it without checking....
I then went into hospital for around a month [summer]
and My Son drove My beetle a bit...
I then found the High temperature paint over the heads had peeled off..
after pulling everything apart I found My generator had a doghouse fan and the alternator a non doghouse fan...
so, now the paint doesn't peel off...
a doghouse fan cannot be fitted to a non doghouse fan housing. its too wide...

I have had a doghouse fan shroud on My single port engine and now have the original fan shroud back on and am using an external oil cooler...
I really believe I should have just fitted a new doghouse oil cooler
and the fan shroud etc... but..!!
maybe I will do that one day in the future....
just the way Volkswagenwerk intended.... lol

Single port engines were dropped in aus during 1970, everything after was twinport using the same doghouse fan, including all the 71-75 1300 standard
"non super beetle"

Just measure the blade area width
doghouse fans are 38mm like this
A single port fan would only be about 30mm

noticed also you have a way bigger gap between the fan and the alt tin ware this could be the cause of the problem cause the fan measures the
same........ when i look back at lees pics it sits the same as hes

The fan gap is just shimmed to suit the shroud, if the gap is too big or small the fan will rub on the shroud
