Take a look at a Scirocco or a Jetta TD (Some other VW's may have it as
well). These two cars have the type of oil cooler I think you are talking
about. Look where VW tapped into the coolant system, and the funky-curly
hoses they did it with. Let the engineers at VW guide you.

Cheers.

Subject:        86 2.1 oil cooler onto a 83 1.9

Here's the skinny....I had AVP rebuild my 1.9 and do their conversion
deal.....2.1 cam/pistons/cylinders/and heads. Thinking that the oil cooler
would be a good thing to throw on, I also ordered that.......apparently it
fits between the oil filter and the case (easy enough). However where would
be the best place to tie into the original 1.9 cooling system to get
coolant
to the thing? and are there any known fittings that "tee" that I could
splice
into an existing line to feed and and a line to recover the coolant, and
which lines would those be ??

Help.......................................
