i went into a vauxhall dealers today and walked up to the parts desk. i asked the weasely looking man behind his desk how long for a oil cooler with the sealant please. and how much?
he replies ' do you want the gasket with that and the sealant is sold seperately'.
from what ive read on the posts i told him i didnt need a gasket?. i then ask him how much for the oil cooler to which he replied
£350 :o :o :o
surely this isnt right, not from the posts ive read :-[ :o
help please
-
he is talking 'dangle berries' should be around £150 for the 'kit' which does not include sealant, which you do need.
-
I have heard someone else mention something about a gasket around the oil cooler plate but I have not done any like that, just used the proper sealant :y
-
The VERY early C25XE units had a gasket adn it was repalced with the sealent due to leaks.
You need to buy the repair kit to get the oil cooler at a good price.
-
ok so shall i go to vaux tomorrow and ask for a oil cooler repair kit and then ask for a oil cooler to get a good price? :-? :-/
is there a chance that ive got a buggered oil cooler gasket or maybe the sealant is knackered and needs replacing/ redoing?
im not working so have time to investigate

I presume that the oil cooler for the 2.5 is the same as that for the 3.0. If so, here is a copy of the invoice that I recently got from my local VX dealer when I bought a new cooler for my 3.0 Elite, hope it helps! :y

This was for the full kit, which included the cooler, seals, nuts, the lot! Obviously the sealant was the seperate item.
-
was that bought on a trade card?
