Mr Deano Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 to my understanding, after a scouring the vvoc, through the oil cooler is where the oil is getting into the water, a lot of the other owners seem to overcome this problem by bypassing the oil cooler, apparently the oil cooler does very little under normal driving conditions. However, i cannot do this myself and have just spent £450 on the car and cannot afford to spend more getting this job fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movistar Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hey dean, the oil cooler is not really that bad a job...looks worse than it is. The hardest part is cleaning out the cooling system of oil!! Oil cooler is located in the center of the v in the block, under the inlet manifolds. I might have had this off you but you so far away from me :-( C/L fault is probably the relay in the drivers side kick panel or the remote it's self...i even think i have one at home? Good luck with the sale fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
