![]() Any DIY's out there done an oil cooler themselves ? How does the following look ? 1. Get a *huge* tray. Put under oil-pan 2. Undo plug. Drain oil 3. Unscrew filter & cooler 4. Install new plumbing & cooler under radiator 5. Install new filter (pre-filled with new oil ;-) 6. Use new seal, re-install oil pan plug 7. Refill with new oil (Mobil1 0w40 this time ;-) 8. Disconnect fuel supply (where ?) 9. Ignition On - crank engine for two minutes to let oil pump circulate oil in and air out of new plumbing 10. Reconnect fuel 11. Start engine and idle for a *long* while 12. Test drive watching oil temp & pressure Anything special to watch out for ? |

believe it or not, the picture shows the short hose (drier's side) attaching the wrong way to the end of the condensor. You'll never get it to fit the way they show, unless you want to cut some metal
![]() Flip it around so that the 90 degree elbow ends up attaching to the thermostat, instead of the condensor. How do I know this? (We only discovered it needs to be flipped around AFTER we had done all this) We sat an pondered for a while: Then opted to do it the "hard way": After removing this: It now fit ;-)

I was pondering if it could fit inside a normal S4 bumper.

You don't need to do anything to the bumper, other than make sure the little rubber flap doesn't block the condensor (just fold it so that it's under the condensor)... it will make sense when you see it
