| Location of the Oil
cooler
 |
To remove the cooler you will have to drain the
oil and remove the oil filter. Take a 27mm socket to remove the bolt (located
between the oil filter & coller) holding the cooler (this is messy
job, oil and coolant will be spill for an hour!!!). Clean everything
and check for dent or corrosion. If you are equip to do a compression
test, do one now. If you’re not equip, check this picture, it’s an
easy way to do a test. (Rear heater section
for more info) |
The oil cooler with the O-ring, view from the
engine side Note: the new updated O-ring as a silver / grey
color. (this one is black, old & original one) |
View from the oil filter side Note:
clean both inlet & outlet (corrosion) |
|
VW recommend
the use of a sealant on the O-Ring side???, not sure about that. What I
did is apply a small coat of Red 518 Loctite . Toque back to 18 feet /
pounds. |
