The doghouse erefers to the later type Bug oilcooler, which lived in
a small housing on the front-left of the dual-port 1.6 engine's
fanshroud. Earlier (single-port) engines had the cooler within the
shroud and were NOT doghouse). Single-port engines can be retrofitted
with doghouse cooler and shroud, which I did for my 1.6.
