• Hi All,
  
  I'm putting together an AAZ, and am having a little trouble with the oil cooler gasket. My new o-ring seems to be different than the old one. I dug up my 1.6d oil cooler to compare, and it does seem to take the new o-ring. i have two questions:
  
  One, are there different o-rings for the two different oil cooler designs?
  
  Second, since this is going in a vanagon which did have a 1.6, can/should I use the old oil cooler? (The angles of the coolant pipe inlet and outlet are different, which is probably better for my coolant hose configuration.)
  
  
  
  
  thanks!

• Sorry about the unnecessarily big pictures.
  
  My most important question about this is whether I would have a problem using the oil cooler from my 1.6d on the AAZ. It looks very different but I would prefer to use the 1.6 cooler.

• Just use the 1.6 cooler, older AAZ's has the old cooler stock...
