Man3 0 Posted May 15, 2006 I haven't seen my car for a while but i'm pretty certain it goes to the heater matrix, bottom connection i think. Wait to confirm this though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted May 15, 2006 Correct The pipe from the oil filler that normally goes to the inlet manifold goes to a catch tank ideally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man3 0 Posted May 15, 2006 Do you have an air-oil cooler or a water-oil cooler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt205xs 0 Posted May 15, 2006 theres no air oil cooler on so there i presume water cooled?? must have gone into the inlet manifold somewere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man3 0 Posted May 15, 2006 If you have a water cooled oil cooler afaik you should have a large water hose that has a small jacket round a section of it, this should have 2 small pipes coming off it which you connect to the sandwich plate. If you don't have this you can run without the oil cooling circuit, i do and mine is fine, with it it's hard to get good oil temp in the winter. To remove the cooling circuit undo the sleeve holding the sandwich plate to the oil outlet. You should then be left with a std oil filter union. Someone correct me if i'm wrong about the water cooled oil cooler set up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted May 15, 2006 Just ditch the lot as said above and have the filter in the std place on the block Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt205xs 0 Posted May 17, 2006 rite that problem is sorted, next one is there is a metal pipe that runs along the back of the engine and cant work out were in goes?? any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted May 17, 2006 As you look at the engine, the right hand end of the pipe curls round to a pipe coming off the thermostat. The left hand side curls down into the water dist block again. Both small pipes, and both a pain to do You can remove the long pipe, but it means blocking off the dist block bit, and also bloking off the pipe from the t/stat. Do a search for coolant bypass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
