Aircooled VW Engine
One of the most iconic vehicles of all time, Volkswagen remains one of the most prominent vehicles driven today. Known for their stout German engineering and fuel efficiency, the Volkswagen is one of the most popular cars worldwide. At Trafton’s Foreign Auto we staff factory-trained technicians and VW enthusiasts and know exactly what it takes to care for your Volkswagen, whether it’s a classic aircooled or late model watercooled VW. We’ve been providing Portland with quality German auto repair since 1978!
Why An Aircooled Engine?
Even though most people believe the aircooled engine is an outdated piece of automotive equipment for personal vehicles, they still have their benefits and remain a popular choice among VW enthusiasts. Aircooled engines have been known to be very durable and long-lasting. Also, since they require less parts than the water-cooled engine, aircooled engines are considerably lighter. Having an aircooled engine has many benefits:
- Durability
- Fewer parts, lighter weight
- No risk of coolant freezing
- Warm-up faster
- Easy to maintain and repair
With every piece of equipment, there are disadvantages of course. While the aircooled engine doesn’t run the risk of freezing in cold temperatures, it does run the risk of overheating. That’s why it’s important to maintain the engine and its fans to keep your engine up and running. At Trafton’s Foreign Auto, we can make sure your engine stays in peak performance shape! That’s why we’re one of the most trusted names for aircooled VW repair in Portland!
