Thread: New D1 owner - Oil cooler pipes

Taking them off is as obvious as it looks. You will lose some oil from the bottom of the intercooler/radiator when you disconnect the bottom line, so be ready with rags, or don't be over concrete. When I took mine off, I put the finger of a rubber glove over it and put an elastic band around it. Stops it from draining oil everywhere while it's off...

I also am planning on getting mine re-made at some point because mine also leak, but unfortunately don't know where or how much it will cost to get done.

For the price they are in the UK you might as well buy some new ones.

I bought some last year, landed for under $100.

Get yourself a new vacuum pump while your there and combine the freight.

That is quite cheap! Are they exactly the same as the originals though? I.E. Are they going to leak at some point too? If you get them fixed at Enzed or Pirtek, I feel they'd be good for life. Thoughts?

Yeah have looked at importing after market pipes from uk, they are dirt cheap, found them for about $32 the pair, plus freight which is extortionate, most will only post via courier instead of standard royal mail airmail, which i can kind of understand.

I do worry about their life span though, i think i'm tending towards getting them done at pirtek or enzed, though i suppose if the factory spec ones have only recently started leaking 14 years / 230k down the track might be worth just going with new ones?

Can anyone comment on the quality of these aftermarket pipes from compared to the factory fitted ones?

These ones are OEM at 20 GBP!

Just did some searching... This could also work I guess:

Replacing 300TDi oil cooler hoses - any tips/tricks?

Have fitted aftermarket pipes to two 300tdi motors,not sure if they were OEM,both are leak free after 3 years.They were cheaper to buy from UK and came with O rings.Vacuum pump from UK also,make sure it is genuine Wabco.

DLS landrover parts in the UK on ebay are always very cheap I find and excellent on postage as well, have everything you could need for ya landy
