Thread: 2.7TD Engine oil cooler replacement

Im not hearing any sound on my laptop Shane - going to watch it on the bigscreen instead.
Matti

Just watched and thought it was very well done Shane.

Cheers,

Finished off the removal process in the next video

Hopefully someone finds some benefit of these. Its my first time making videos so its a little rough around the edges, but we gotta start somewhere

All my Xmas wishes answered!

You are a superstar.

Likewise I could not find a video on this process anywhere.

Possibly seeing how oily it is before starting disassembly do you think could hit the valley with degreaser and wash it out first?

Mate! If I’d seen that bit on removing the crankcase oil separator it’d have knocked a couple of hours off my HPFP job. Nicely put together.

My first attempt at removing it saw me fail - but it was 11 at night so I was probably too tired at the time to really think about it. I remember I thought that it would be impossible. Then tried it the next day with fresh eyes and it was out before I knew it

Yes I had built this part of the job up into mission impossible. I thought there was some very hard to access hose clamps? I have bought the special hose clamp tool on an extension cable in readiness.

Now to find the fuel hose quick connector ends as probably worth replacing those by sounds.

Nice work there Shane.
