How do i blank off oilcooler on C20 XE??

[Slatter]

I did have the oil cooler all hooked up ... but ive put the wheels on and it rubs on the pipes :?

So what does everyone else do????

Blank the pipes off ?? Screw bolts into the housing of what?

Cheers Slatter

take off the union and blank it off with standard blank with copper washer..

remove the oil cooler plate... fit a part from a 8v

[Slatter]

tried doin that ste ... but couldnt get it out of the 8v one :(

Anyone with epc know if u can buy them from vaux ???

[Ste_Nova]

yeh ?2.80 ish

[m.d.]

i just got the one off the 8v

i want to put it back on now but i killed the thread on the old bolt that holds the filter and plate on so can u get them still from vauxhall.

also has anyone managed to get the oil cooler to fit and if so HOW as there is hardly any space there

cheers for the number shall phone them up monday ...

Ive got the oil cooler to fit nicely infront of the rad ... its jut the hoses that are causing the problems rubbin on the tyres when turning left :(

i managed to get mine to fit with my MO rims, but it just took a lot of messing about till it dodnt catch.

i gopt a can of silver paint and painted the pipes so i could see if they still caught. i thimnk they point down :S and miss then the pipes are zip tied to the shell to stop them hanging in the way

I managed to get mine to fit ok but I am running a Cally turbo oil cooler and the pipes to the sandwich plate are slightly different so they run sort of behind the bottom pulley under the edge of the sump. Been fine so far!!

[Slatter]

yeah might get some longer pipes made up cos i like the idea of havin gthe oil cooler :lol:

[Ste_Nova]

unless youj got overseas and towing a caravan it's unlikely the oil cooler will ever get used on a standard xe nova

[m.d.]

why do u say that.

on a track and fast road surely it would make a difference

i have run mine on track days where the car is revved all the way for 20mins solid, with no oil cooler i started losing the slightest bit of pressure below 5000rpm and it has been fine so far (touch wood)
