  View original topic: Back of doghouse pic request

Anyone have a pic they could share of the back of a doghouse shroud with the cooling flaps installed correctly with the linkage and spring in place?

Also anyone have a source for the correct spring for the linkage?

I've taken photos of that recently. I'll put some up this evening, if I remember. (Assembled and installed my doghouse engine in the last couple of weeks.)

Call your local dealer and ask for 113 119 279. It should only be 3-4 dollars and they usually will have it in 3 days or less. Tell them to check the VWoA system it's more than likely sitting in Jersey. They have a good stock on a lot of old parts. This is not the place to try and make something work. If the tension is incorrect either way the system will not function correctly. Good luck

Bobby,

Thanks! A OEM VW number was more than I could hope for.

Perfect if you want to half ass it. Spend the extra buck and have it working as designed. Fast, easier and CHEAPER rarely solves anything. :roll:

No problem at all. If you need any other numbers just PM me. I used the spring clips on this customers setup as he thought they looked cool. There were only 6 left in the states when I got these but the other style shown there were plenty. The washers were in good supply as well. Good luck
