question on the Zcentre oil cooler kit, anyone had any experience of it? I am guessing lots of you have so ye or nae, which is it to be?

 

What are the issues if any?

 

:bow: :bow:

ive got one never had any issues with it. gets a thumbs up from me

The only issue I have is using a dirty oil cooler for your clean transmission fluid - Transmission fluid will clean it out nicely and deposit the carbon all over your transmission innards.

 

In my opinion - buy and use only a brand new cooler for the transmission.

Z Centre only sells New coolers anyway bud....;)

So they replace the jap cooler with a new one and the old one is moved down to cool the autobox? Have I got that right? Is it a difficult fit to fit an oil cooler to autobox?

 

Will likely get someone to do it as I am a mechanical nightmare...lol

Yes they sell new coolers, but then tell you to use the old one as your autobox cooler...and use the new one as the engine oil cooler.

 

No, its not difficult to do yourself - hardest job is re-routing the new piping to the hard pipes from the old system! I did mine for about 80-90 quid from a company called thinkauto - very helpful - I used a mocal cooler and placed it in from of the engine oil cooler and in my case it was a jap auto so I disconnected the standardcooling system that uses the radiator and just used the new one. Easily done in an afternoon.
