Hey guys,

So my car is leaking coolant from the thermostat housing, going to replace the thermo housing (OEM?) and swap in a billet crackpipe (probably the Gruven, is there really any difference in the finishes?) while i'm in there, and I was wondering if there are any aftermarket air/oil cooler setups that are worth the money or that will even fit in there?

Thanks in advance.

Setrab? Search the Mk5 R32 forum, there are one or two installed over there.

I ordered the VR6 kit from BATINC.net with stainless hoses and the Setrab setup that was used in the R32 thread you referenced. We'll see how everything fits together. Also nabbed the gruven crackpipe, curious to see the build quality. Hopefully I wont have to replace all this shizz again. Found out I need a new comfort control module as well, gas door won't open, keys don't work and the windows work when they feel like it...:facepalm:
