Renault Clio dci 1.5
Hiya,
I'm a newbie so please be gentle. My question is I have the above car which is a diesel and it appears the oil cooler has gone as there is oil in the radiator which isn't good. I had no problems over heating when this happened but I can not seem to find parts anywhere online or in stores. Would it really cause any problems if i just bypassed it? I'd prefer a real mechanic or someone who knows what they are talking about as someone who says "it must be there for a reason" isn't helpful as lots of cars with bigger engines do not have them and run fine. I can see the logic if its there it must be there for a reason but anyone know where I can get one or what type I would need? Only quote I can find is £160 for the part. I'm pretty sure its not the gasket as my friend has flushed and tested the cooler and it seems to just mix the oil and water.
Thank you so much in advance.
