I have already salvaged a cooler bracked from an Audi in a local self-service junkyard. I was planning to do an installation when I got a new engine for my '71 bus. However, it's possible but far from ideal to be working on the case at the oil cooler on an engine that is already built; so it's not a great option if you are already having overheating problems. If you are having overheating engine problems, you'd be better off fixing the cause of the overheating, rather than using an external oil cooler, which requires some real time to do it right. In fact, although the external cooler seems like a good idea for the 1600cc buses, which really put a lot of load on the engine, I wouldn't put one on a type 3, I don't think (or on a type 4 powered bus, for that matter). And I should add that I wouldn't use an external oil cooler as a replacement for an oil cooler in the stock location, unless that one was preheating the air for the #3 cylinder (do the early type 3s do that?), and I couldn't find the later style tin (which condition seems farfetched).
