Metro turbo didn't have them, the MG Metro did.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

From a N/A MG Metro, I have one in the shed from my donor car.
Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

I'd rather not bother signing up to anything and just take my personal experience of using one into account. I know how a fluid to fluid heat exchanger works. My wording may not have been great but in summary it did cool the oil somewhat but not as much as I would have hoped, the benefit of marginally cooling the oil was more than offset by the increased temperature in the coolant system (to the point of overheat at some times). Improving the efficiency of the cooling system may have yielded better results from the doughnut oil cooler but if I were to do it again I'd install an oil to air cooler (as I will probably do in the mini). If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

These were fitted to the mg metro, primarily, to heat the oil up quicker from a cold start. This not only helped over the emissions cycle required for homologation but it also helped boost fuel economy figures over an urban drive cycle where the A series was considerably uncompetitive.

Just to say, if you notch the upper flange of the subframe then the oil/water exchanger can be used in a mini with a full size oil filter, which will just sneak in whilst leaving the lower flange alone.
