It is crazy, there was never a recall on the oil pipe or cooler. There was a workshop campaign, that saw the the attachment of a double cable tie, this was to stop the pipes chaffing together, not corroding due to rust.
I stand corrected, thanks.
Still wish they'd make up their minds as to what's covered and what's not, though different dealers obviously have different relationships with different customers..

Looking forward to this little task - i will take some pics throughout and let you all know how it goes....we fit plenty of new oil coolers but hope nothing else breaks on my car when we start pulling it apart as its done 60k.

cheers for advice
