mightyvr6 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 what was wrong with the old oil cooler? Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 when i had the car tuned it lost 35of bhp due to the knackered oil cooler (according to stealth racing) 194 bhp at flywheel 159bhp at the wheels, and it was filling the coolant reservoir with oil! it was well knackered. i just thought the oil temp would stay at 100....i don't know why i think it should be 100 but 106 sounds quite high.

DundeeDub 0 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 my oil doesn't get above 88 degrees now Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 why now dundee? what was it before and what did you have done? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I think dundee might have fitted an aftermarket air to oil cooler. If your concerned about oil temps get one fitted (there's a group buy for them on the corrado forum right now) Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Yep, i have a mocal oil cooler, worth every penny in my view. Before it would go up to approx 115 max, now i never see even close to that.Pic of it, its now painted black though Link to post Share on other sites
scruffy 0 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Just came back in after about 12mls of mostly above 100mph and oil temp never goes above 96 dropping to 92/94 on the last 2/3mls behind the SLOTHS Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Mine usually only goes to about 104 after travelling at 100+mph on private (M1) roads Link to post Share on other sites
