NO. ITS AIR COOLED, WHICH MEANS IT HAS NO LIQUID COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) TO RUN THROUGH A RADIATOR.

Well...kinda.

There are two places a VW engine transfers heat from the engine to the atmosphere. First, there are a lot of cooling fins. The cylinders have them, and the ridges that run front-to-back along the bottom of the case are cooling fins.

Second, there's an oil cooler. If you take the fan shroud off, you'll see it. Some real old VW guys say the Volkswagen engine isn't really air cooled, it's oil cooled because of this item.

All off-road racers and a lot of street people put auxiliary oil coolers on their cars. On a race car you need one, but if you put one on a street car make sure it's got a thermostat so you don't overcool the engine.
