Oil modine or oil cooler
I'm needing a oil modine for my newage block as it's missing :cry:
Now do I pay the £190 etc or do I buy a oil cooler instead? Will the oil cooler replace the modine? I need to decide on the best cost effective option Discuss |
I have both on mine. Sorry lol

If you are planning on doing a few track days, hill climb events etc, then a oil cooler with a thermostatic sandwich plate is always a good idea.

Hey busta there is a used oil cooler in the for sale section, might be worth a look and ask the seller about it

I wouldnt buy a second hand oil cooler, you never know what might be floating around inside it, considering the job it does, not worth the risk imo

I've still not had my main question answered? Will that oil kit that I linked excuse the need for a modine? (It's £190 for a genuine modine so do a put a couple of pennies towards a cooler kit and be done with it?) Gonna phone Alyn tmr and order a few bits so wondering to add it to list or not. |

I don't understand statements like this, if you bought a car with the oil cooler fitted technically you have bought a second hand oil cooler regardless of if it's fitted or not.

The link in #7 would replace the modine but would recommend having the thermostatic sandwich plate and not the ordinary one in the kit. The thermostatic plate will allow the oil to warm up as per the OEM modine oil cooler before opening and allowing the oil to circulate through the cooler. Mick |

Yes, it is used to heat the oil but with a thermostatic sandwich plate the need for that is negated ;)

unless you're doing track only I would fit the modine first and see how you get on, then fit the oil cooler only if you have a problem.
Even with a thermostatic plate I struggle with low oil temps in winter, it's fine about town but any cruising gives sub 80deg temps, so much so I cover the cooler form October. Trev |
Thanks.
I'm gonna stick with modine for now seen as I've bought it now, as the delete modine to fit cooler is a diy job which I can do at a later date. Link regarding modine delete courtesy of banny. http://bbs.22b.com/forums/showthread...Quick-question |
