Hi Blue,

 

I think the problem with the GTti was that the oil filler cap was not the screw on type. It was more like a insert. A change of the O-ring could solve the problem, i guess.

 

 

Hi Lordgt

 

Guess you're right, but would'nt be able to try it out now .............. but what then caused the connecting hoses from the snail to the intercooler and also the intercooler to throttle body to pop out? .............................anyway it's history now.

 

Thanks for the enlightenment abt the coolers [thumbsup] , maybe can look for those pajero's or troopers coolers [idea] - cheaper way out mah

hahah what i meant was second hand.

 

Well oil coolers does keeps water temp down. ATF will give your tranny an extended life span.

well pressure is one thing i can think of, another could be loose fittings.

 

Trooper and Pajero was used as an example, it could or might not fit.

 

I'd rather get a brand new one, for that kinda price. eg. $150 second hand, $280 brand new.

 

ATF coolers aren't that expensive or are you talking about Engine Oil coolers?

Well actually i had the e-oil coolers in mind and since that the atf coolers extends the life of the tranny, i am thinking of installing both. That is if space permits and the price is right

oic. Well those trucks/cars/jeeps watever you call is usually are bloody huge.

 

If you want a non-uniform look, can try the scrap yards. But be sure that its not the leaky ones.

Just a point of advice for cars with inbuilt ATF coolers; but like me, added an aftermarket one as well.

 

Make sure the mechanic doesn't isolate the new aftermarket cooler from the inbuilt one. Rather he should extend the cooling from the existing setup onto the auxiliary ATF cooler, which then offers better cooling...;)

 

If not, the after-market auxiliary cooler may not be as efficient as stock, simply because it may not be as big..... [dizzy]

 

This doesn't apply to those cars that don't have a pre-existing ATF cooler...

I wanted to install an engine oil cooler this weekend actually.

 

Brought along all my engine oil. But, along the way, gave CS Racing and AutoFix a call - found out that no one was around to handle a new oil cooler order/installation. Hence, may have to wait another week...

 

Still, I meant connecting the aftermarket ATF cooler to the inbuilt ATF cooler in series (as you described). Nothing to do with an engine oil cooler (if that's what you meant)...
