Club 80-90 Forums

Hello all,i fitted a 19 row oil cooler and... its not getting the slightest bit warm!!.
any ideas?
ps,im using a golf oil filter stand[for the oil feed pipes]
Ta.

Just a thought, did you fit a thermostatic sandwich plate to instal the cooler?

If so maybe the oil just isn't hot enough to open the sandwich plate.

I know nothing about JXs so cant really comment on specifics.

Cheers

Rich

mocal plate?
is it therostatic?

whats an "oil filter stand"?

is it the sandwich plate?

Thanks Rich,i think you may be right[the oilstat is marked 110c] its just that "jx engines" are supposed to run very hot.
Kev, the "oil filter stand includes a oilstat[thermostat].
Thanks to you both.

110 deg c is a bit high ..is that what was recommended?

Kev,yes its too high,i just found out its 110c[80 or 90c would be better],i fitted the part[oil filter stand] on a tip from CJ [Syncrospares] some years ago.
Now the thermostat is nla !!.
ps,its a part that was fitted to mk1 golf's.

yep 85 is a good temp
pressures are well up at that
