Oil cooler, please help :/
 

hi there, im trying to buy a oil cooler for the scooby, 2002 bug eye wrx.

i dont want an aftermarket , just a direct oem replacement and they parts guy asked a few questions about the required cooler :

How many rows?

Width?

Wheter the hoses are threaded or push on?

Hose sizes?


i would check myself but i dont have the car or the engine at the moment but need the cooler for this weekend, any help would be greatly apreciated!!??

Guessing you mean Oil Modine then?

Can get them from Advanced Automotives Brace your self!

Unless you are a Spec C?

thats the one , oh god, how can they possibly justify that sort of price :( the engine has cost me enough lol!!!

May have one in the garage

:shark:
You would simply be an amazing person if you have one, if you do how much would you want for it buddy? And could I collect it if you do? :)

Other option would be to not bother and add an aftermarket oil cooler on a thermo plate - this will be slightly more but much better, however the oil may not warm up as quickly which can in turn cause issues.

Does that mean you can take out the oem Modine? Because mine is most likely full of metal filings. Also it looks like to fit these aftermarket coolers u have to use a sumo adaptor between the oil filter and engine...... I already have a sumo adaptor for my gauges :/

Sorry can't find it

You'd fit a sandwich plate between the block (usually oil modine) and filter I believe although am not 100% sure you can remove the modine and use the sandwich plate straight onto the block with no fitment issues. The plate should ideally be thermostatic so that it allows the oil to warm up - without a modine in effect warming the oil on start up it can take a while for oil to reach operating temp (80 degrees or so). The modine cools the oil with the water in the coolant circuit so will have a warming effect as well as cooling

If you do away with the standad modine you will have to join the water lines witch go in to it.
id never use a second hand modine, aways new.
