Oil-Cooler

[orange]

Hello,

What do you think about Thermex (www.thermex.co.uk) and Serck Service (http://www.serckservicesmotorsport.co.uk/) oil coolers. Find their websites and become interested but don't have any feedback regarding their quality when compared to Mocal or Setrab.

Does any one have one of these or any feedback regarding them?

Thanks

What car have you got ?

I think the PD130/160 engines have oil coolers anyway (coolant-based ones). Think that's what the cube shaped thing is under the oil filter housing.

It's a TDI 130.

I don't know what you refer to, but for some more amount of power, a oil cooler its needed .

Says who ?

Miguel who writes the maps for Allards has started to map PD130/150/160 cars to 260-270 bhp on standard injectors apparently over in his home country Portagul but what he does to get that power i haven`t been able to find out yet.

Any info regarding the oil coolers?

Cheers

no need for an oil cooler. Although one thing that would be good if you were using a tdi for track use would be a Charge cooler

Hot weather over here, so oil-cooler is a must.

Fuel & oil cooler from Serck Services Motorsports on its way.

I remember when I was driving my Ibiza (remapped PD130) down through France a few summers ago, my oil temps did start getting very high after a prolonged run (I had an '03 Ibiza with the additional oil temp gauge).

I can see if you're living in a hot climate, running higher outputs and using the power, it might be a sensible idea.
I also remember Paulo (prc on here) talking about fuel coolers too, have a search you will probably find his posts.

Totally agree with you muddyboots. Gonna do a search.

I think he even wrote a guide on fuel coolers, if I remember correctly there were a couple of different positions in the fuel system you could place the cooler.
prc hasn't been on here for ages but I think he used to have a link to his fuel cooler info in his sig.
