Cooling bit - Eduardo?

miss translation... I meant to say curved not round.

they look like piece 31, but attach to the upper cilinder covers and to a straight piece the bridges the gap between the heater box and the engine case.

Eduardo means the parts 17 and 19 for the right side (that you seem to have) and part 18 for left side, which you seem to be missing. And the = picture is "engine cover plates".

yep. exactly that parts!..

(I have a split 18 that looks like 17 and 19 on the left side...)

I have nothing useful to add .... I'm just still amazed at the power of this internet thingy .... a guy in California receives help from Chile and Finland in just a half hour. Remarkable.

A resource like this can't be beat :) With today's digital technology we can even take and share photos of the offending parts.

Not to mention the "family" feel to this nutty bunch of grease monkeys.

Group high 5!

And naughty parts...

Guess it's safe to say I'm the black sheep of the family then huh?

SPECTACULAR HELP EVERYONE!

Mike, since you are in North County San Diego you might just want to zoom over to San Marcos and talk to the folks over at Interstate VW. They shoud have all the missing tin there.

I am unsure of the #'d parts that are spoken of in other posts, but I am sure that they could be described much better.

here's my shot at it.............

The lower cylinder tin, that forms around the front of the #1 and #3 cylinders...................and one side is in two pieces. The part that is there in the one picture is one of those "two part" side pieces..............

So basically all you need is the pieces that meet the upper cylinder tin forward of the the aforementioned cylinders.

I am also quite certain you will be missing more pieces, that haven;t even come into the conversation yet.

...........ever heard of the "Hoover bit"???

Nope --they are (or have) shutting down the shop there. Moving everything up to Lake Elsinore. Alas.

I'm currently in the middle of a HUGE cooling system test! I have tested the stock and TIII style "Cool tins" on two different shrouds already. I used 1.46, 1.54 and 1.58 :1 drive ratios with each, as 2 different fan types...

So far NOTHING beats the stock Tins!! VW ONLY used the ciool tin on TIII engines, as the airflow went horizontally over the engine and needed resistance to be efficient. Upright engines have proved to me before, as well as now that they don't benefit from it at all.

I have 11 cooling systems left to dyno, and probably 25 more hours before I'm done. I'm logging all this data and will be saving it to my site after it is professionally analyzed..

Jake!!!

First of all, good to see you back here

Second, thank you for the valuable, undisputable, hard data you *keep* providing us with. Much appreciated.

Hi Jake, and those who know Jake: It sounds like he's doing a fascinating study of cooling, and I look forward to reading the results. But I don't quite get one sentence in his posting: "Upright engines have proved to me before, as well as now that they don't benefit from it at all."

What's he on about?

Not exactly sure what your question is but .... An `upright' engine is one that uses the fan shroud like on your bus. All Type 1s had an upright engine (Beetles, Ghias) as did pre-72 buses. The `cool tin' that is mentioned is a specific part that was used on the `pancake' engine in Type 3s (Squareback, etc.). He's saying that an upright engine shows no benefit from using it.
