DundeeDub 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 I know this subject has come up before but i can't find it looking back.I am looking to get a new oil cooler and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on them and also where to buy them from. Looking for one that is thermostat controlled. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 speak to Vince at stealth racing, i was talking to him about them when i was there... they reduce the temp by upto 15 degrees! Link to post Share on other sites

DundeeDub 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 no air con apart from windows so it should be easy enough. just need to get the parts Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 speak to Vince at stealth racing' date=' i was talking to him about them when i was there... they reduce the temp by upto 15 degrees![/quote']Absolutely. The kit comes from Think Auto but the VR6 sandwich plate is custom made, which they always seem to forget in the kit if you order directly. Vince knows exactly what is required, so it's best to let him do the ordering and then post to you.Yep it's DIY and if it fits in front of the radiator on a Corrado, it certainly will on the Golf. I found a 20 degree drop with a 13 row cooler. I was getting 116 cruising at 80 mph but now it rarely goes over 96, but then the VR lump is pretty cramped in the Corrado bonnet.If you're getting high temperatures you might also want to ensure the thermostat is OK and there are no air locks in the coolant system.

DundeeDub 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 have got a neuspeed thermostat to go in to, bought it a while ago but never fitted it yet.not getting high temps yet but just want to safe guard against it happening Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 My oil temp hardly goes above 104 degrees. but i might get one all the same just to make things run cooler as it runs hot in general, if you are replacing ur stat then get a nu-speed one Link to post Share on other sites
