some tips for change ur black oil
Don't just drain the oil. You need to drop the plate and clean the strainer. it also gives you a chance to see if there's any debris on the plate.

Heating Tips
The most common complaint by VW owners is heating system problems. To solve heating system problems, I suggest doing the following. First, using a good set of original OEM heater boxes will give you the best heating because the internal heat exchanger has more fins for dissipating heat. Make sure there is no obstructions to air flow from the fan located in the rear of the fan shroud on the engine. Check the system from the heat channel up to the defroster. Mice nests and collapsed hoses can cause poor performance from your heating system. Make sure all cables and levers are connected properly and all heat valves are opening and closing. I also feel that compression ratio and the type of fuel used also can affect the tempurature of the exhaust that heats the heat exchanger. Back pressure in your exhaust will hold the heat in your exchanger longer and allow it to heat up quicker. A high performance exhaust will make less heat because heat is removed faster from your exhaust. Proper timing of the engine and making sure all cylinders are firing will also have an effect on heating. Remember one dead cylinder is like having 25% less heat. Therefore, it is important the engine be in top shape. One last thing that can be overlooked is air leaks in the body and cabin of your car. Missing grommets and rubber seals will allow warm air to leak out. When your car is in motion holes or cracks will act like a vacuum as air rushes past the outside of your car sucking warm air out. Your can maximize your heating potential by following these important tips. Happy motoring and stay warm.

oil temperature range for 1600 stock engine
180F to 210F is normal
230F is hot
250F is too hot

Get a set of flaps and a thermostat. It will extend the life of your engine.

im using vdo gauges in `F with vdo sensors

 

[nefrideum]

OMG.. i do not have a heat sensor installed on my bug...is it that crucial? coz now tight budget ler.... wanna pasang all these gadgets have to think twice worr.... and when u say high performance exhaust.. means if i take out all the original extractor is ok ? because the original extractor got heatsinks ler...now still thinking whether to change the whole exhaust system or just the muffler....bro vwmania.. when we wanna have TT session laaaa.... looking forward to meet all of you guys

 

[encikmasen]

IMHO, i think its crucial if we 'lenjan' the engine everyday..correct me if i'm wrong..

one more, we live in hot and humid malaysia..do we need a good heating system?
