Aircooled VW South Africa

Nothing new, long ago a few Golf1/Rabbits got this treatment in the US. Also some later golfs and T4- T5 transporters were changed to aircooled.

Yes... why?

Why does a dog lick his own you know what?

Cause he can

Yeah, but that's an improvement...

The dog has the best of both worlds - they're aircooled most of the time, then when he licks them they're watercooled

One advantage is: TRACTION. As in not putting it's front paws in the air when trying to make a getaway. Granted, they could have taken the complete Golf engine/transaxle and fitted it transverse at the back. But then, it would'nt be of interest to an aircooled forum.

There are several clips on youtube of racing aircooled Golf/Rabbits.
If this link do'nt work, just search an you will find.
