They are air cooled, it just happens to use liquid as a transfer medium. :D |

Has anyone finished one of these conversions? TD Beetle would be a real performer and should get excellent fuel economy. |

That's mine and it is nearly done, I'm in the process of moving but should have it finished sometime in the next month or 2. My motor is a 1.9, his are probably 1.6 but very similar. |

Nice work. Seems like an awful lot of work for some Jettas...
But then, back in the late 80's my buddy's dad told us we were 'tarded for dragging home a different Ford Falcon every weekend. The Jettas are 25 years old, just like the cars we were tearing into back then.
Carry on... |
