Refurbished Genuine German VW Doghouse Fan Shroud — Cardinal Semi-Gloss Powder Coat
Superior cooling starts with genuine German engineering. 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, it retains the critical internal factory vanes that direct air exactly where an air-cooled engine needs it most.
Vehicle Fitment
- VW Beetle: 1971–1979.
- VW Bus: 1971–1979.

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. Choosing a refurbished original part gives you the perfect factory fit with a modern, high-durability finish.
