So anyone have some serious track time w/ the Achtuning oil cooler yet? Thoughts?

An oil cooler is my next purchase -- is this the one to go with?

I'm tired of people keeping quiet about problems around here because we're all afraid of upsetting the status quo. If that's the case, I'm ready for a mass exodus back to non-moderated usenet.

The fitment wasn't good as the tranny coolant lines were in the way. Also, it leaked.

That's all I know, it's sitting on a garage floor at the moment. I have no idea if it would have worked on the track to keep temps down, I'd assume it should since it is called an "oil cooler"

the 14th?

Might the owner be interested in selling -- at a steep discount?

But that's a totally different argument.

The fitment wasn't good as the tranny coolant lines were in the way. Also, it leaked. That's all I know, it's sitting on a garage floor at the moment.

zhenya Junior Member Account #: 70550 Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 1,122	Thank you. I assume that fitment problem was specific to a Tip though? Where was it leaking from? Might the owner be interested in selling -- at a steep discount?
