[Vwdiesel] Quiet around here

[ralph meyermann]

Ive been mostly doing home improvements while thinking how to get it
running cooler. The water temperature seems to be a bit high for my liking
about 210-220 under a load in the summer. Was thinking about routing
another cooler/small radiator from the coolant return side of the oil
cooler?? First I need to get the kit that I can make sure my injection
timing is right on, I feel it may be retarded a touch, if that can cause
heat issues. I am planning on upgrading my radiator fan for more flow and
possibly 2 fans.??
