Refurbished Genuine German VW Doghouse Fan Shroud — Cardinal Semi-Gloss Powder Coat | Type 1

Superior Cooling Starts with Genuine German Engineering. Don’t compromise your engine’s lifespan with flimsy aftermarket reproductions. This is an original, genuine German-made Volkswagen fan shroud, salvaged and professionally restored to better-than-new standards. Designed for the "Doghouse" style external oil cooler setup, this shroud features the critical internal factory vanes that ensure air is directed exactly where your engine needs it most.

The Restoration Process: Each unit undergoes a rigorous multi-stage refurbishment in-house:

• Structural Inspection: We manually check every shroud for structural integrity, ensuring mounting tabs are straight and heater duct outlets are perfectly round.

• Media Blasting: The tin is stripped down to raw white metal to remove decades of grease, old paint, and surface oxidation.

• Premium Powder Coating: Finished in high-quality Cardinal Semi-Gloss Black. This industrial-grade powder is UV-resistant and exceptionally durable, specifically chosen to withstand the high-heat environment and chemical exposure of a vintage engine bay.

Why OEM German Tin Matters: Air-cooled engines rely entirely on the efficiency of the fan shroud to survive. Genuine VW tin was manufactured with thicker gauge steel and precise internal ducting that aftermarket shrouds often lack. By choosing a refurbished original part, you get the perfect factory fit with a modern, high-durability finish that will look great for years.
