Has anyone replaced their oil cooler recently? Mines had the usual issue of completely knackered threads.
I've seen this one on eBay, any other options?

Re: Oil cooler replacement
That looks pretty good. Haven't seen that before. I'd certainly be tempted to splash out for the ease of installation.

Re: Oil cooler replacement
Nice find. If you go ahead and do the install. It could give us all a alternative option.
Look forward to your feedback.

Re: Oil cooler replacement
I went for it, now installed and my mechanic was impressed with the quality and fit.

Re: Oil cooler replacement
Decided to do my oil cooler and pipes today, used all genuine apart from one pipe which I got from RS carparts and it’s really good quality. Also glad to have my oil sweat sorted and not making a mess of my car

Re: Oil cooler replacement
That’s my next job. Radiator, coolers and hoses.
Riggs that does look like a really nice job mate.
Just hope I can replicate it.
Have you got details of suppliers / part numbers and approx costs for the hoses.
