oil cooler
Turbo Mini Forums

AGAIN on behalf of feebleuk, hi oil cooler sprung a minor leak today so we took it out and put in the standard oil pipe that runs from the block to the oil filter, but he wants his oil cooler back, lol so does anyone have one forsale? with hoses becouse he sort of butcherd his to get them out

thanx, Dan

on a std engine id doubt he actually needs it. im not running one at the mo. best to spend the money on fitting an oil temp gauge

what type is he looking for?

std metty?

i gues standard metty one would be fine yeah, if he doesent need one then thats ok cos its more money for other things like a bonnet! lol
is oil temp guage a good buy? he has oil pressure guage.

thanx, Dan

Its a good buy if you dont know what oil temps you are running, they are fairly critical. Too cold or too hot and you damage your engine.

Ive got one to fit but cant decide on the best place at the minute.

When you say you cant decide on where to fit it

I assume you are talking about where to get the oil feed from and not where to position it on your dash .... lol

Its all pretty confusing about where to put the sender isnt it ; I have the same problem .... I just can see anywhere obvious ...

You know ehere the oil pressure relief spring is ; isnt there a blanked off oilway access point above or below it ... ? I cant rememeber if I am dreaming or not and I am about 60 miles away from the Car !!!

Anyways let us know mate where you put the sender in the ender :)

I can get sump plug adaptors that allow you to fit the there. not sure if it would make the sump plug a pain to get out though. guess it wouldnt be that bad.

on my NA i put it with a T piece near the oil pressure gauge take-off but it never worked properly as there was a flow of oil. Might be ok on a turbo if you have a spare takeoff there as there is a flow of oil. I reckon ill make something to fit it in the transfer pipe from the block to the filter (or in the oil cooler pie if you have them).

Just cut them, make and adpator then hose it back up to each side of it.

found out it was just the pipe luckliy! going to order some new braided ones from avonbar
