woooohooo , dont say all that !!! maybe the radiater formula and bars leak !!! my mate is going to take me down it seems in his newish 2000 s4 b5 , but jeez havin a breakdown on albany hwy is sort of remote at times it could be a short cut into a side track of the hwy for a night to prevent theives !!!! fingers crossed , be taking my sl/r nikon too ....

Nahhhhh, just joking. You should be able to fix anything on a MK1 with chewing gum, bailing wire, 100mph tape and a swiss army knife.

20W50 is what you want.

Make sure the oil to water cooler is not leaking internally. I am not sure how often Frank has run this car but the cooler ended up leaking some time ago ( water in the oil etc) From memory Frank changed the cooler and flushed the engine oilways and cooling system.

As long as the basics are right you will get home fine.

apparently ... i just spoke to the owner , he says he has bypassed the the oil cooler ? would this be ok ? is there a variety of oil coolers that will suit , or go with a vw type ....

It'll be fine without it, mate.

I'd go for a Mocal oil cooler kit if you feel you need one. PM me if you're interested.

what would be a sufficient radiater for a kr 16v ? im thinking of getting a spare , would the mk1 be limited for space or should i just stick with a mk2 radiater ??

Stick with what's in it now, mate. That's the easiest thing to do.

I agree with sticking to the origional if you can, I am running the same engine in my mk1 but I have two 45 webers so I am using a Pug206 radiator, it's a little thinner so it gives the carbs more room to breathe.
