Oil Cooler for Mk1 V6

[klio]

Is there an oil cooler on Mk1 V6? If so, where is it located? Are there any better ones available after market? Or do I have to custom one?

Thank you,

Bob

There certainly is an oil cooler on the mk1 vee, as I had to have mine replaced when it started leaking. I believe it is attached to the oil filter, though if you ask ClarkieV6 he'll be able to tell you for sure, as he changed mine!

need a better one and a relocation, engine oil temps are too high

 

[klio]

Has anyone done that and is it hard?

not bothered - oil temps only reach max of 120 degrees

not in hk they wont lol....

we had alot of heat problems there.....slow traffic all the time (40kph) and over 40 deg temps in traffic

my oil temps is at around 105 during normal driving in a little traffic. and 130+ on track. after a few laps, so think i need an oil cooler and relocate it to the front.

 

[BenR]

you do, anything above 110-120 on track needs to be cooled.

Thats why I am planning on an oil cooler and locating it onto the front. I will look into this slowly. Not going to track again any time soon anyways

BenR: do you know how much gearbox oil the V6 takes?

 

[BenR]

2.2ltrs

Do I HAVE to use ELF oils? If so, which model? I am planning to use Motul FFLSD for my gearbox.

 

[BenR]

you dont have to no.

 

[klio]

you dont have to no.

Thank you
