Re: OIL/WATER COOLER

Haudi,

Makes sense; the engine was taken out of the Audi 80 sport (US 80s (4000
FWD/4-cyl) had the cooler until '87).

The 4000 had a HUGE radiator/fan setup for only 102 Hp. The oil temp never
went above 100, AFAIK, no matter the load/ambient conditions. The 4kq has
no cooler, and has seen 150. The 200 has a cooler and has seen ~135.
