Oil Cooler problems





Right, had an Oil Cooler fitted last week by Nick at HillPower.

I got a sandwich plate with a built in 80 degree stat.

Nick said it was running about 90 degrees on the m/way, and fair enough on the way home, it was running about 80-85.

The problem is now, after a couple of days, the oil is taking ages to warm up, and only gets to about 60 degrees.

The only thing I can think of, is that the stat had stuck open.

I bought it from Demon Tweeks, and will be there on Wednesday morning, so I need to figure out if its dodgy stat, and get them to replace it if it is.
 


stick some duct tape over the cooler and if it warms up faster and up to a higer temp then you can assume oil was flowing through it from the start. weather or not the stat is stuck open you can only tell if you change it.
