trust me i need an oil cooler it really doesnt like being sat in traffic and even going out for a ride down the back roads it can all get very hot, i'll fit a oil temp guage when the oil cooler is fitted, and yep air filter clean is on the list, any other bits and bobs i can replace?

When you say it needs an oil cooler how hot are you talking? it is summer in australia and all our clio sports here are doing time in 40 + degrees no problems. unless you've got some serious modding going on then what's the point? given you're going to be dealing with temperature extremes in the colder end of the scale i could only see any oil cooler doing more harm than good as it will take that much longer for your engine to reach operating temperature. btw - i presume you're in the UK
Have you got an oil temperature gauge even in the Uk cars here run 120 degrees on the motorway which isn't good for the oil.
i don't have an oil temperature gauge - nor do the majority of normally aspirated cars. all i'm saying is that clios are driving in much hotter climates (ie: more demanding environments) than yours with no troubles - over hundreds of thousands kilometres.

an oil cooler will be the least of your worrys and if there were ANY major problems with you oil the engine would be totally fecked already.. you want an oil cooler more than you need it.. i bought a 10 row oil cooler for my r5gtt because i wanted it, not because i needed it... it looks cool in the front grill and im not ashamed to say it:rasp:
if you have running problems your looking in the wrong place.. your cars old now and flushing your rad out would make more sense, as would blasting a hose pip into the heater matrix as most are blocked these days.. i did this to mine a while back and there was loads of sh1te coming out + it fixed my heating in the car
changing the gearbox oils a good idea and when cars get old people dont bother to do it.. maybe change the brake fluid as people forget it with DIY servicing.. wd40 your nipples tho as they will break:dapprove:

as any good owner would, but im gonna hit you with it now
if the 1.8 16v engine needed an oil cooler, Renault would have fitted one themselves.. :quiet: that said if he gets a nice cooler with stat it will bring the engines oil temp up quicker than a standard car would + keep it at its optimum temp.....if we know what that is..
my 10 row, stat, and braided lines were just over £130 and that could be spent better elsewhere..
