drifty325i 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 i presume your talking about e30s? ive Read and listened alot about the oil cooler on 325s in newzealand and from what i gather we really dont need them as it does not get hot enough in nz to warrant using one. And can cause problems with blockages etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 It is called an 'Oil Cooler Adapter Pad' or block, a good source of oil coolers in Auckland is Autoquip Marketing on Dominion rd [they import them] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamiepo 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Don't the E30's already have a basic oil cooler on them?? When I took my radiator of it was hooked up to both water and oil so I am guessing that that is some kind of cooler. Could be wrong though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Make sure you know the history of the oil cooler [or can clean it] Oil coolers a generally a throwaway item when an engine runs a bearing [the debri is usually impossible to clean out 100%] BUY A NEW ONE! or Don't use one!
