oil cooler flap needed type 4

« on: March 31, 2011, 10:32:23 PM »
I need a oil cooler flap for the type 4 cooling system.  I have a cross bar with the built on flap but the flap for the oil cooler side is missing...Anyone have one laying around?  I don't mind paying for it, it's for a customers bus and its holding up the whole engine install.
Thanks.
Rick.

its the spring loaded flap thats on the left side of the engine....covers the oil cooler. its usually hidden under the cooling tins by the distributor.  I was thinking you should have it nick.

yup... the black bar running from that side to the other has the flap connected to it that he is referring to. take off the rusted cover over the cylinders on that side and you will see it.

Am I understanding that you found the part you needed and that I don't have to disassemble mine? I hope so!
