There is not separate cooler for gearbox. Cooler is on radiator like automatic gearbox cooler.

Well, it is actually *IN* the radiator (integral part of the radiator). I know for my "new" C4 S4 V8 avant with a 6 spd CGM transmission (with oil pump), the radiator is exactly the same (same PN) as the radiator for a V6 autobox C4.

ok fair enough , that makes it a bit hard to work out a size.Do they run a temp switch?? i guess they would only pump when in gear??

Sorry for my bad english UrS4boy. That was what I ment.

Front diff runs pump and there is no temp switch.

how do you make sure you have proper level of trans fluid with a remote cooler assembly?

Maybe it's possible to check oil level in radiator..

my guess is that once the oil cooler is primed (full of oil) then the cooler and lines cant hold anymore and would not drain back through pump then check level at gearbox??

there wouldnt be very much pressure, so barbed bango fittings and oil proof rubber lines to a remote cooler would be ok??

Yep mine has been fine using banjo fittings. You don't need to use a big cooler.
