Dana, Just a thought, in the RV industry (motor homes, more specifically "diesel pushers" the rad. is located either in the actual rear or on the side of the engine compartment. For the rear application, air is drawn up over the engine and exits out the rear, through the rad. (opposite air flow of normal aplications), for side mounted rads, the air is pulled into the engine compartment. I have always wondered why VW didn't utilize the rear facing rad. It would have been the most efficient application. Ron Semko Orlando, Fl. 1984 Vanagon with 200,000 plus miles Dana Morphew wrote: > Thanks for the link, Ron.
