I've got a new engine for my TA... here's my question:

the new engine is equipped with the factory oil cooler, my old one didn't. The radiator does not have the provision to install the oil cooler on it. Can I install a fitting on my existing radiator, or should I just get another one?

 

my engine has an oil cooler, but i dont think it connected right to the radiator..

i just changed my radiator and the only hoses that went to it were the lower water pump one, the upper thermostat one, and coolant overflow tank and two tranny lines for the inside tranny cooler.

i am not too sure on how the factory oil coolers were hooked up though..

 

thing with the oil cooler on this one is :

heater hose plumbs into radiator instead of back in to the water pump... there's the upper and lower radiator hoses, and there's the tranny lines, and then there's the line for the heater hose.... mine doesn't have it, but other than that it's identical to it.

 

so where do u have ur heater hoses goign then?

 

I have a stock oil cooler. From the TB I have a hose going to the heater valve, then to the firewall. From the firewall there's another hose to the cooler, then from the cooler to the radiator.

 

same for me
