Turned my T4 into a sludge pumper today on the way to work. Man diesel oil in the coolant does wonders, no overheating just a heap of mess, this is going to suck getting all that black oil out of my cooling system. Havent experianced this before, got to break out the old T2 ute! It was still running nicely but decided on a tow job before in turned into a complete head job!! What a Bitch!!!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Mate, have you got the goods on replacing water powered heat exchanger for clamp on external oil cooler (with no water involved). I've heard it has been done from several people, and looking for details now myself.
