Oil Cooler options - where to buy - where to locate
Hi all,
Looking around it would seem prices vary hugely from anywhere near £500 to £100.
What are people using, and where are you locating the cooler. Notice some folk locating under the bonnet scoop if running FMIC.
Cheap and cheerful, or cheap and nasty? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22-Row-Th...YAAOSwy5Ja3W5v

ive never understood why you would want to locate an oil cooler where you have removed the intercooler. the hottest place in the engine bay.
mocal or perrin are good bits of kit, fit between the front upper and lower bars in front of the rad.

Cheers, i'll take a look.
I believe the 2.5 get hot quick when on WOT for long periods, the Scoop is there for a reason so figured it might as well have a purpose. I understand what you are saying though, especially if queued in traffic.

check the pic of the location on the car in that pic, will fit the same in all models from classic to hatch. Might even fit in the newer ones but don;t know without going looking

£70 ebay 13 row 80 degree thermostatic kit on my blob. Removed the stock modine and my temps are between 80-90 degrees. Mounted behind the fmic at the moment but going to look at fitting behind the grille.
Think it was a G-Plus kit, the fittings and quality were excellent, especially the pipework

An oil cooler needs ducting into a enclosed shroud that surrounds the core, in order to make the most from it. No point in just hanging it out of the front of the car, or on top of the engine completely pointless. Behind the bumper in front of the wheels is a good place to mount as it can be ducted and shrouded easily enough. Buy a quality core. Mocal or Setrab
