Oil Cooler Pipe Specification

[johnhenry 20]

Morning

 

Im looking at the oil cooler replacement today, and have just been to a local agricultural shop to try and ascertain the thread and details of the oil cooler pipes (that flow into the standard sandwich plate)

anyone who has these details will save me alot of time and would be hugely helpful.

 

diameter of pipe?

thread of pipe into the sandwich plate - in any thread code (BSP or other) ?

 

that should do me for now, so i can order the cooler and then measure up the pipes when it comes to fit them, cheers

iirc they are some obscure metric thread, youre best off gettin a sandwich plate and an oil cooler and pipes made to suit than trying to re- use the original stuff

I put standard hoses onto a mocal cooler

As Welshpug says they are metric fine with oddball ends on the pipes.

 

You have two options really,

 

1) Retain all the Peugeot stuff, so the Peugeot sandwich plate, hoses, and cooler. Pros- you already have it, it will fit straight in place. Cons it uses weird oddball threads and hose fittings.

 

2) Junk all the Peugeot stuff and fit aftermarket sandwich plate, hoses, cooler, such as Mocal etc. Pros- It will use either BSP or JIC threads which are easy to get hold of. Cons it is expensive to buy all this, you will have to adapt/make brackets and have hoses made to a length you decide to suit.

my oil cooler was weeping due to a damaged pipe, after the incident when the handbrake let go :/ so its option 2 for me! i'm looking at a 10 Row 1/2 inch BSP unit, which i have been offered at a decent price.

 

the follow up question regards sandwich plates. Having never seen/used one, how do they fit on? i guess i need a specific 205 gti one. - this again is 1/2 inch BSP, so pipes would be a straight forward install.

 

the sandwich plate im looking at (mocal ebay one) has an M20 thread on it, will this mean an std oil filter will fit?

 

Cheers
