Title: oil cooler
Post by: DanielSon-gtt on 01:54, Wed 25 February 2009: What Oil Cooler Do People Recomend And What Number Of Rows
Is a Universal One Much Cop As I Was Told That An Astra Oil Cooler From a Gsi Would Do The Job
Would It Just Be a Case Of Buying a Renault 5 Sandwich Plate And Hoses And Bobs Your Uncle

Post by: smithsgtt on 14:35, Wed 25 February 2009: sounds about right mine was cheaper cause i got a company to make it to what i wanted (good friends that helped me do this)

Post by: DanielSon-gtt on 16:11, Wed 25 February 2009: Wouldnt It Be Cheaper To Get a Custom One Made From Radtec
Title:
Post by: smithsgtt on 16:12, Wed 25 February 2009: they want around 189.99 + vat and delivery

Post by: DanielSon-gtt on 16:15, Wed 25 February 2009: I Was Just Pricing Up The Bits To See If It Would Be Cheaper Because They Do Coolers For Like £30

Post by: Ash-Lee on 16:24, Wed 25 February 2009: No need to buy a sandwich plate, it's already got one fitted for the original oil cooler.

Post by: DanielSon-gtt on 16:28, Wed 25 February 2009: So All You Need Is 2 Pipes A Cooler And A Thermostat
Its Just Buying aThe Rite Threads On The Fitment Or Are They All The Same
Title:
Post by: Ash-Lee on 16:30, Wed 25 February 2009: Thread sizes might vary but take your sandwich plate and oil cooler to somewhere like Pirtek and they will knock you some lines together there and then.

Not bad on price either from my experience.

Post by: smithsgtt on 16:46, Wed 25 February 2009: for the kit

Post by: DanielSon-gtt on 17:03, Wed 25 February 2009: Well If I Was To Get A Oilcooler From Rad Tec Tey Do 7rows For £38 And Go Down Pirtek How Much Will They Charge To Make Some Pipes Up
And For Me To Buy A Termostat Would It Be The Same Price Just To Buy One From Cgb
Just Trying To Shave Some Pennys Off a Sum Iv Been Pricing Up

Post by: Ash-Lee on 17:13, Wed 25 February 2009: Ask them about the pipes and see what they say just give them an idea of length and what type of pipe you want to use and they should be able to quote you there and then, i've only been in there for unions to mate the R5 oil feed to a Rover turbo and i got change from a £5, good value for money in my opinion considering they had nothing 'on shelve' and they had to make one up.

Post by: DanielSon-gtt on 17:19, Wed 25 February 2009: Might Give Them A Ring And See What They Say But Then I Doo Need To Get A Thermo And There Prity Exspensive On There Own I Seen Some For £45 So Realy Geting A Cgb One Is Just Plug And Play

Thanks For The Advise Mate
