As far as I understand the Beetle has a 'ducted outlet' system & the Type 3 a 'ducted intake'. This means the Type 3 will overheat without the rubber fan intake bellows in place - am I correct. Now a question I have wondered about for a long time - In a Type 1 Baja Bug conversion I think the cooling system is compromised & will not work as well as VW intended it too - same with a Buggy with a Type 1 or Type 3 motor in it (The hot air will just circulate). I have always thought that motors in these vehicles will overheat & fail prematurely (I have never seen a Baja Bug or a Buggy with a temp gauge fitted !) Is my thinking correct ? Any other opinions?
