I've got another oil cooler above the rear subframe, is this a standard item and what is it for? I thought all the coolers were at the front :confused:

It is standard fitment to TT, UK models only I think but not 100% sure on that, its for cooling the rear diff.

Ah right, didn't know that! Cheers bud

Cools the gearbox too I think?

Pretty sure the pipes run right back to the front.

Nah, UK TT gearbox has seperate cooler, that one is for Diff only. (plus they have different oils)

....and it has an electric pump to run it that only comes on when the oil reaches a set temperature or you are cruising above about 90mph. I discovered a leak from the rubber pipe conns to mine after a highish speed run. Not clever if it would empty the diff but I think the pick up pipe always leaves some oil in the diff for safety.
