Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me if these are both oil/water cooler take offs?

 

the one with pipes attached i think is from a late 1900 and has 4x outlets?

but the one without pipes only has 2x outlets

 

coul anyone shed some light?

I would say that the rubber pipes go to an oil cooler and the other two inlet and outlet on the body are for water.

the bottom one is without oil cooler.

Both are heat exchanger's, Not cooler's which is the most commong mistake ever, The one with hoses is just the remote version fitted to all later 205's instead of the air oil cooler mount in the fan housing, The other one you have is either a Mi16 or 309 heat exchanger

But both only have water in and out only, the remote one the pipes connect to the oil filter take off

I'd ditch them as they are no real use and only some else to go wrong

If the remote one has it's fitting;s that is a saleable item, Or you can still use it with the exchanger part removed and it make's changing the filter very very easy

I wouldnt. The quickest way to kill a performance XU engine (mi16, etc) is for the oil temp to get too high. Alright they might only be heat exchanges/modines but the idea is the coolant and oil keep the temps at a consistant level and also no too high. If one fluid temp creeps up the idea is to disapate the heat into the other fluid. They do work to a certain extenet (why else would pug use them????) and I have noticed oil temps creeping up without them.
