QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen! Questions regarding an oil cooler - m20b25(7) I am wanting to put another one on, as my current one is a bit dingy and banged up and I have a spare which is in much better condition. However. I am aware these can cause some serious clogging problems, so I was wondering, is there a good sure fire way to thoroughly clean them out, and then test if they are flowing correctly? Or is it the ol' hook the hose into one side and blast away? Secondly, Id like some new hoses that run from the oil cooler to the fitting that holds the filter. These are just rubber with the metal fitting attached. Am I able to purchase these somewhere, or is there somewhere that can make up these hoses for me if I bring in an example? What sort of a price range am I looking at for this? Thanks all. A. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2009 Cheers, will have a look into Pirtec and will flush cooler. How freely should it be flowing? Just pouring out at a good rate, or a dribble, or? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on the pump flow. We do this with engine and transmission coolers and cooler lines BTW: Be careful... white spirits is highly inflamable Edited March 30, 2009 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
