    Blanking Oil Cooler

    I have removed the EGR and now wish to rid the EGR cooler. I would also like to remove any unnecessary pipework.

    I know there has been plenty of discussion about blanking off the oil cooler outlet. I have had an extensive search and can't seem to come up with anything conclusive.

    Has this mod been proven to be ok. I know that the pipe from oil cooler is for EGR cooler, but was wondering does this also aide oil cooling.

    On the pre EU3 models the pipe just runs to the bottom of radiator. If removing and blanking the cooler outlet is ok, why did LR run this hose to bottom of radiator in the first place?
    Dave.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Blanking Oil Cooler

    As I understand it, originally the radiator was partitioned so there was a separate tank at the bottom of the radiator for the fuel cooler circuit. LR later changed that to “improve the durability” of the radiator. The current spec rad has the oil cooler connection at the bottom of the rad blanked off which effectively creates a “dead link”. A search of my past posts will find the related Tech Bulletin.

    Thanks Rick.

    I suppose that then confirms that it is ok for this mod.

    Not sure you're correct on this Rick, I think it may apply to the later Deefers only. My D2a is one of the very last, May 04, and it had, until last week, the full EGR cooler circuit. It no longer has it as I've removed the EGR and cooler and capped off the coolant outlet from the oil cooler.

    They have an EGR cooler but it doesn't draw flow from the oil cooler outlet.
    The oil cooler outlet is blanked.
