you will need to install a sandwich plate between the filter and the housing, demon thieves have them then run that to the oil cooler. That's the easiest way I can think of
I bet you could get a UR oil filter housing and oil cooler to fit but that would be more involved

yes it does... the KV runs very hot on the motorway
there are plenty of kits out there that you can install relatively easy, the donut type adapter (choose the thermostat one) and your choice of cooler.
another option would be a water cooled one, iirc a Fiesta turbo had a donut type that would also fit on the Audi oilfilter. just need to find a waterconnection.
Just noticed that it is a 2.5L GTi engineering RE2500 engine
This unit will be producing considerably higher BHP over the standard unit and could justify the fitting of an oil cooler.
This change may be of use to me as well as I am in the process of Supercharging the KV...any Alloy fabricators out there?
i know ally fabricator, doing me some strut braces for gt/quattro etc
i ve got a scirocco storm(mk1 i think) oil cooler
needs sandwich plate
try europa if thye re still going, had one on my v8 capri i built
That adapter looks familiar Carl...
I had the adapter Carl now has and fed to a front mounted oil cooler I still use for the 20Vt. Easy install using Mocal parts and thermostat in adapter ensures oil only goes through cooler when it gets hot...Try and dig out some pics...

Some pics. Adapter is as was fitted to my KV a long time ago. RAd as fitted for many years. Will shortly be selling this 16row one as upgrading to a 25row one in prep for planned upgrades to 20Vt.

so you don't have the Adapter anymore?
Any one on here got one? How much would you be selling your oil cooler for?
