I have been unabl;e to find tin for a type 3. :Yes, you can add an oil filter to the type 3 engine, but it requires a complete teardown of the engine to install it. No, it won't help the cooling problem. To do that, you'll have to put the tin on and provide some kind of cool air duct to the inlet. Otherwise, you'll just be pulling in hot air off the exhaust and the underside of the engine. I have type 3 cooling tin. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
