Re: Oil Cooler for a 97 VW VR6

["H. Jones" <hjones1@airmail.net>]

I installed a New Dimensions kit in my 96 and it went in pretty smooth.
The cooler resides in front of the drivers - side wheel well and is ducted
via a custom built scoop that triangulates the lower driver's side dam. The
scoop is the key to really dropping oil temps because the air-flow to the
inner wheel well is just not adequate ( I see summer hwy temps of 110F+).
The scoop was fabricated from sheet aluminum and the  air intake is 1.5"
tall and 12" wide. The inner wheel well guard (plastic) must also be
"Swiss-cheesed".

Good luck and hope this helped.
