Re: Cooling Upgrades

[Roland <toker@oden.se>]

Go and find a radiotor from a golf diesel or turbodiesel. They should be
bigger, or take the radiotor from a 16V golf/scirocco. If you increase the
volume of water in the system it makes it run cooler in normal and hard
driiving. Going with the system that has an expansion tank is also a good idea.
