You may be lucky and have the 2.0 one. Who knows. I should study the
drawings more closely -- after all, why would the 2.0 need one less outlet
- the cooling system is essentially identical...

Well yeah, and the more notes you take with hints on how to actually get it
right, the happier I'll be! :)
And we love you.

Ever since we did my swap #1, I've had a small coolant leak just above the
oil filter that I could never find. Brought it to my trusty mechanic who
put dye in the coolant, cleaned the whole area, and using mirrors (and
possibly smoke?) he saw a little coolant seeping from one of the joints on
the pipe... I looked at the job and said "pfuck this".... so it's been
there ever since...
