Is there any reason why I shouldn't fit my oil cooler (next to the radiator) up under the slam panel with the fittings facing down? I just wondered if it might be a problem being mounted so high up? It'd mean nice short hose runs and a tidy install but more importantly there ain't nowhere else to fit it! (mk2 Polo).
Cheers,
Richard.
I've seen others fitted there so don't think it's a problem
oil coolers come as standard on mk1 golf gtis and are positioned to the left of the radiator so it shouldnt be a problem. if you get an oil temp guage as well, you can determine if your oil temps are acceptable and if not, seek to reposition it elsewhere
Cheers guys.
I will have plenty of airflow to the oil cooler, I was just a little worried about the actual height of the cooler in relation to the engine. Seems like I should be ok though if others have fitted them in a similar place.
Thanks again.
Kano on Polo3 has his fitted right underneath the bonnet catch behind the grille.
mine is fitter directly under the bonnet catch also behind my grill and it seems fine there
