Title: oil cooler
Post by: shaun_89 on September 10, 2009, 08:35:31 AM
Im looking into getting an oil cooler and was wondering what people on here already have. Im looking at a 13row mocal kit, it says it is safe for up to 200bhp and anymore and you need to go bigger.
Also where do you mount them? Im running out of space
thanks

I have a 13 row cooler and its fine I have mounted it on the lower crossmember next to the rad I know some people mount it where the fog light should be

mine is mounted behind the bumper where the passenger side fog light would be.  It's bolted to the bumper iron using some brackets I made for it.  Then cut the front section of the bumper iron off so it's not in the way.

Not the greatest of pics (can get a better one if needed). Mounted at an angle in space behind foglight hole. Brought cooler from a MG spares place as it was cheap (£23.50 + postage!)
