does anyone have a kit successfully employed?

I do. If you can't find a listing for VW, any Ford kit for a 302 or 351 will work as the filter threads and sealing dimensions are the same. That's what I have on mine.

Id like to know how to move my oil filter flange and filter to make for some intercooler spage up front on a rabbit mk1
does anyone know if they are able to move the filter flange as well as the filter? Would I need a block off plate on the block then ?
Most of these kits seem to be a line that attaches to the old filter area and has a hose that runs to where you wanted to mount the filter...

hmmm ford 302 eh

Can't block of the flange as that is the only place the oil pump pumps to, and where the rest of the passages to the engine are. I imagine you could use a steel plate with fittings welded on to take up less room though.

bamn, thats it.... Im totaly sold on something like that idea
Make a 3 hole allen key plate and drill holes and weld in some barbed fittings that you could put hose onto and then run that oil filter flange anywhere you want....
sounds too easy
How to know where feed and return fittings should be on the plate?

I'm pretty sure with the plate off, you can look down to the pump through the feed fitting. Just make sure to plumb the turbo after the filter, if you have a turbo.

because of the vane style oil pump you couldn't add an inline oil filter with the relocation kit right?
Let me try that again...
because of the gear style oil pump you couldn't add an inline oil pump with the relocation kit right? :oops:

Vein?
Your not thinking of the vacuum pump are ya or did the mk1's have a vein oil pump?
I see no reason either way why you couldn't used a remote oil filter set up.
The oil would still need to come from there but you could make a plate I guess with some AN fittings for supply/ return then mount the filter where ever you wanted. and run the AN lines to it and from it.

vein style pump? Oh man, if burn dont know im wondering who will

Here is the summit generic one. I removed the oil cooler though and run the oil through a separate cooler.

Flash319, have you got your new oil cooler plumbed into the same lines with the relocated oil filter?
I was thinking about doing that. I guess you could not use a thermostat for the oil cooler in this circuit, since the oil must be able to go to the filter regardless of temperature.

Ya I just run it through a cooler and oil filter back to the inlet. The oil will get hot fast so you don't need a thermostat if such a thing exsists.
