1971-1974 VW Front Engine Tin - Late Doghouse Style - Black

Every air-cooled VW engine lives or dies by how well it manages airflow, and the front engine tin is one of those small pieces that quietly does a big job. Sitting between the engine and transmission on 1971-1974 dual port 1600cc engines with the late style doghouse oil cooler tin, this plate closes off the front of the engine compartment so your cooling system pulls fresh air through the shroud instead of recycling hot air and road grime from underneath the car. Leave it off or run a bent, rusted one and you’re giving heat an easy path back to the heads and oil cooler, which is exactly where you don’t want it. This is a direct replacement, so it bolts right in without any fabrication or guesswork.
