Subject:      RE: Debate: Freeze Plugs in Fan Shroud!



_______________________________________________________________________________
A friend put Freeze Plugs (1 5/8") in the holes in the fan shroud 
where the hose to the heat exchangers usually go.  The theory: 


"it keeps the air up in the shroud where it is needed--by the oil 
cooler."


I take the bus to 20 year VW mechanic friend.


"Get those freeze plugs out of there, and put the heater hose back 
on.  That will solve some of your over-heating problem."


I tend to agree with theory number one.  It seems to make more sense 
to me.


What do all you experts think?

   I'm not an expert... do you keep the tire pressure up to scratch?
   Sounds dorky, but that might help a bit... I noticed some improvement,
   anyway...
