Is there a oil filter kit for dummies for this engine?
Check out this......
Cool -- that's a start -- it's the oil return. Now I guess I need an oil send adapter, some hoses with threaded bits on the end, a standalone filter holder thingy, and some clamps for the hoses . . . has anyone published a how-to for this project?
Try this for starters.
As follow-up, I asked my local VW shop to quote installing a good outboard oil filter, an oil cooler, and add oil pressure and oil temp gauges. They came back with about $560, split pretty evenly between parts and labor.
A couple kind souls have provided some bits and pieces of oil-modifications for me, but I'm hoping I can find a really good "how to" so I can determine how practical is it a job for me to do. Maybe VW Trends ran such a thing?
Oh -- if it requires pulling the engine, welding or metal fabrication, I'm going to farm it out to the shop. That's well beyond my meager skills or toolset.
