Ok, I know not all of you have the space for the larger oil cooler or the dual filter setup but here is what I'm installing in my Corrado. I had been wanting a remote oil filter setup for a long time because the filter is challenging to get out with the passat engine cross-member that supports the front engine mount. To make it a cleaner oil filter change I typically would drop the cross-member making filter changes a RPITA.
I read about the larger oil cooler here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=78993
Below is a picture of the stock one (far left) and the one I chose in the middle:
I picked one out of my local junkyard for $5. Its from a V6 B5:
I bought a new gasket for it which cost $20 from www.Germanautoparts.com
I had to modify one of my hoses slightly to accommodate the cooler. The hose that goes to the head. I ordered a new one which is three pieces. Bengone1 and I played with the old hose and shortened the piece of the hose closest to the waterpump buy 1/4" and then shortened the piece that goes to the cooler by 1/4" This causes the hose to not collapse on itself.
