Oil Cooler Question

[Alex]

Alex's oil cooler looks to be a 13 row/235mm one.

Correct!

Buying a complete oil cooler kit is expensive, and often the hose lengths are somewhat "universal".
You can fit the thermostatic sandwich plate from any late Vauxhall XE or Ecotec powered Cavalier/Astra/Calibra/Vectra. Plentiful at the breakers and cheap too. The common 235mm 13 row oil coolers can be found cheap on ebay too.

Steve, if your oil cooler core is a 100mm high then it'll be a 13 row one too. 10 row ones are about 75mm high.

[breadman]

There are 2 standard matrix lengths available, 115mm or the more usual 235mm. Overall lengths are 210mm and 330mm respectively.
