Thread: Oil Cooler!

My bottle had the black gunk in it when I recently did a coolant change. I’ve had the oil cooler changed. While there was a little bit of an oily tinge to the coolant, it was the more soot like black stuff that caught my eye. I’ve since changed the coolant and bottle and will see what comes of it.

I suspect EGR coolers in my case but I don’t fancy the cost to change them out, and I don’t think you can blank the 3L even with a tune as I recall it needs functioning EGR to test against. I also read the so called emulators weren’t much cop.

You need to talk to Cambo from Old Jaguar

Looking at the britpart EGR replacement video I note the valve is separate to the EGR cooler. As the valves work, might be able to simply replace the coolers - though simply is never a word that can be used in that area of the engine, or on a Disco

Ok. So the cooler alone is around $600 per side from Rimmerbros. Ouch

And edit: only applies to the 2.7L.
