Default Coolant flowchart KV6 190 anyone?

Does anyone happen to have a flowchart of exactly how the coolant flows in the KV6 190 engine? Or could we make a joint effort in reconstructing one?

I'm not talking about just an image of the parts here, but some sort of schematic showing exactly what flows and in which way through which pipes and hoses.

This, of course, has to do with my other thread, but I decided to break out this question in case others might find such a flowchart helpful too.

Thanks...

NO. WAY??

Well, now that we’ve established that, let’s move on to a more detailed description. I still can’t post images, so perhaps someone could help out?

We can also help out with your image posting problem. Have you got all your photos uploaded to a hosting site like Photobucket, etc.?

Now we're talking. Thank you very much indeed Brian & T-Cut! That was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Is the oil cooler on the same circuit as the heater matrix for the Mk2?

Ummm... Euston, we have a problem.

The fine flowcharts published above turned out to be somewhat inadequate — on my car, there’s one hose too many.

I seem to have two hoses coming from the direction of the heater matrix or thereabouts, whereas on these and all available charts, there’s only one. Now this is getting spooky.

I may not be an arithmetic genius, but I do believe I’m able to tell the difference between four and five.

T-Cut's diagram shows flow and return to the heater matrix.
