The mk2 uses an oil cooler that is cooled by the engine coolant rather than forced air.
If you look at the housing the oil filter screws onto you'll notice that it has a couple of water hoses attached, that's your oil cooler.

Ah yea. The filter sits on a block which has 3 or 4 pipes in it

  Thanks for clearing that up!
