Re: [T3] "cool tin" - Do I need it or not?
<x-flowed>> I'm getting ready to put my stock 1600 DP engine back together. I
asked an my local VW boneyeard abut T3 "cool tin". I was told that it
was a one year only item and was not needed. When I pulled the engine
it had the small (relatively) flat deflectors below the cylinders that
I've seen on T1 engines. Is there really an advantage to using "cool
tin"? It gets pretty hot down here in Texas. I figure the engine can
use all the help it can get.
My advice: Don't trust those people anymore. Whoever claims that parts
of the cooling system are "not needed" is obviously incompetent. VW did
not put those deflectors in there for fun.
