Necessity of oil cooler in 16v rocco?

First Shawn sez:

>From which one can infer that it's an effective heat exchanger.

Den Shawn sez:

>Its very limited as a heat exchanger. 

Now, AFA it's *capability*, which is it?

It's *reliability* is a given, and IMO (and yours) it's NOT.  

FWIW, I'm removing mine, some upcoming month.  I have a Volvo Turbo
t-statted sandwich adapter and cooler (with proper Parker-Hannifin
crimp fittings and 2000psi lines (FREE - the owner of the local Parker
distributorship is a friend.  Good contacts are part of the Cheapass
philosophy)).   Soon as I figure out where to mount the cooler.  Yeah,
I know, in FRONT of the radiator...would like some existing install
photos, though.
