Upright vs. Doghouse Fan Shrouds
Upright vs. Doghouse Fan Shrouds
Look at the back of your Fan Shroud, does it dis-connect from the oil cooler or does the shroud cover the oil cooler? JBUGS recommends you check what configuration your vehicle is currently running before you order as it may NOT be original after 30-40 years.
Upright Oil Cooler Fan Shroud
Air cooled VW's through 1970 originally featured the "upright-style" oil cooler that blew cool air from the back of fan shroud through the oil cooler fins next to the shroud.
Doghouse Oil Cooler Fan Shroud
Cars after 1971 originally had a redesigned "doghouse-style" fan shroud and oil cooler that were more effective than the upright oil cooler to help cool a bigger 1600cc engine.
