Oil Cooler Fittings

[Lee]

Nah. No hoses.

OK, got it wrong. I 'thought' it was a 51 row cooler but it turns out to be only 44. I don't know why I thought it was more. Anyway, dimesnions without moutning lugs and hydraulic fittings is 165 x 50 x 345 mm. I can bring it up if you like. Got it for £30 so it would be rude not to use it. There is room to get fittings in but it is quite tight and I think I can do it without removing the rad ducting. Then again, the rad ducting is a PITA when it comes to changing the thermostat and mine seem to go every 6 months or so.

When were you looking?

Slight topic change (size isn't everything apparently)...

Has anyone tried to use oil to water cooling rather than oil to air radiator? Could such a thing be plumbed directly into our coolant system without causing an overheat?

Ck.

There is a thermostat in the oil filter housing.

Specs are (for the technically minded):

Start of opening: 110ºC
End of opening: 125ºC
Opening Stroke: 8mm

Is this the same for the 3B? Does it ever needs a replacement (like water)? My mechanic will change the oilsender anyway, maybe change this too? Maybe you have an partnumber?

i have replaced my oil cooler for a bigger one 25x25cm in dimentions.I couldnt fit it anywhere else except in front of the intercooler on the RS2 and also only 2/3ds are receiving cold air.It is a hell of a lot better than the OEM oil cooler but im afraid of its position and the damage that can take in case of a small bump.

Is it wise to buy a second smaller oil cooler that would be easier to fit under the right vent and also refit the original cooler to have 2 oil coolers?
