Air-cooled, water-cooled and red-hot: welcome to the Volkswagen aftermarket – both of
them. It’s not a red state/blue state type of divide, but the distinction between air- and water-cooled VW cars and
customers is definitely black and white. One group loves the iconic, fun, funky, oil-leaking air-cooled variety
while the other prefers its modern predecessors, the comfy, quick and slick water-cooled variety. It’s the old
Beetle vs. the New Beetle and no one in the aftermarket loses, ’cause these folks are passionate and buy
parts.
