Sorry to say Steve but they are no longer available from Audi Tradition - It's a bloody shame as I will probably need one in the spring :boohoo:

If you can remove it. Any decent engineering Shop could replace the thread.

Sorry guys my mistake. Been through my parts invoice files.
Christ have I really spent that much.

All 8 oil hoses/pipes and oil cooler were from RScarparts Hartmannsdorf in Germany.

The radiator and cooling fans were from Audi Tradition.

All of the above installed in June last year.
The new oil cooler was 546.00 euros.

For info. My old oil cooler with hoses connected went to Captain Ric. I think he still has it.

This is why I binned mine off and went full aftermarket with mine runs a lot cooler too-I’ve got one mate but the lower left(if looking straight on) pipe is stuck on.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Managed to find one at a not too horrible price. Hopefully it'll last me....

A lot cheaper than through eBay. I wonder why.

That's what I was wondering too. Seems to be the same company. Even when the VAT is added plus tenner delivery, it's cheaper than fleabay. Not complaining though :wink:
