The upper portion of the cooling tin must be removed to get at the cooler. This may intail: carb or injection manifold removal, generator removal and various screws that hold the tin on. The cooler itself is retained by two floating bolts with nuts and a stud out of the case, all 10mm. Hopefully you have the spacer washers that prevent you form overtighting the fastners. If not use care not to over torque the nuts. I think the spacers are about 3-4mm tall, anyone know for sure?? It is also known that people in the past have tightened the bolts down all the way with no spacers and or problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David & Sylvia" <st_diazde@tarleton.edu> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 10:11 AM Subject: [T3] oil cooler seal leak > Hi Guys and Gals > > I have a small technical question reguarding my oil cooler seals.
