    oil cooler

    just wondering if anyone has bypassed the factory oil cooler and put a seperate one on, im only asking cos mine is leaking still and after replacing the oil seal on the new pipes that are only 6 month old its still leaking and the oil thermostat ate the bottom, any ideas?

    Quite a few pople have used universal oil coolers to good affects depending on what you do or buy if you buy a kit it should come with all pipe work needed but if you just buy a uprated cooler the pipe work will need altering to suit

    This one uses a sandwich plate to fit where the oil filter is you oil pipes will need blanking off

    I just cut the ends off the pipes that go to the radiator and used hydraulic pipes into an oil cooler off a saab 95.
