herbiemercman Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) do the mk4 na's have an oil cooler and if the answer is no, then would one be advisable post an na/t conversion? as in mid august, courtesy of dr jekyll, i will have my conversion, can't ask dr jekyll at this point in time as he is hard to reach, must be on holiday or up to his neck in work, he is usually spot on with communication.

Noz Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 They only have oil coolers when a turbo is fitted I wouldn't have fitted a turbo kit without one. TT came with one as standard for a reason. It's not expensive, so just do it for the good of the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbiemercman Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks for info guys, i think dr jekyll will know the answers but i have asked him enough questions prior to him doing my NA/T transplant, so decided to go on the forum. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Only the TT has the oil to water heat exchanger mounted between the oil filter and the block mounting. As stock an N/A does not have this exchanger, which is usually called a Modine, after one of the original makers of them.

The NA oil filter neck is also a nice mod for TT motors if you are removing the stock unit when fitting another cooler instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It is indeed, cheap and of OE quality of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 No worries, I don't think an oil to water heat exchanger was even an option on the N/A, at least I do not recall ever seeing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chris, Your on it as usual, a lot of things i am finding on the site is based on different experiences and you tend to stick to the basic tech info, many thanks. I am having a NA/T conversion in mid to late August with Craig, (Dr Jekyll), he has many successful conversions under his belt and comes well recommended, good replies etc to tech questions and very competative costs. I will see what he thinks re an oil cooler, thanks for your help. herbiemercman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
