Williams Oil Cooler query

[McPikie]

OK, I'm thinking about getting a cooler for my valver. The oil usually sits at 100C once warmed up and cruising around. However, it can go up near to 120C when giving it some beans.

I know the standard clocks and sensors aren't all they are cracked up to be but I would like it for peice of mind, especially with summer around the corner (not that you would know with this weather )

So, is it just a sandwich plate, pipes and cooler, or are there any water hoses that need attaching to them? Plus, where does the actual cooler sit?

And how much am I looking at paying for one?


Cheers

BBpt do a kit with everythign you need, my question is what happnes whan you change teh oil cus obvouslty the oil sta in teh cooler ain't ghonna get changed as the thermostat will be closed

[2 live]

ideally the oil should be changed wen warm.....so the stat shud b open.

[Lunner]

But doesn't it open at like 80 degrees

[stan]

yup, it should be up to full temp, so 80deg upwards

get a rad off ebay, and a renault sandwich plate from Raldes...these bits only cost me about £40...then i bought hose from local motorfactors

[McPikie]

I have a non-stat cooler and sandwhich plate from my old 205 GTi.......... could this be made to fit or are the threads on the coolers different?

[stan]

the rad you will defo be able to use, the sandwich plate you will just have to see if it fits the engine and the filter fits on it....off the top of my head i think its the same...just check tho.
even if the threads on the cooler are different to the plate, juts use different ends on your hoses
