Title: Oil Cooler or Headgasket
Post by: varaderorider on 08 April 2010, 18:13:04

Hi Everyone,
Driving back from Scotland yesterday and got a check oil warning message.  Pulled into services and popped bonnet to find grey/black sludge coming out of the expansion tank and no oil left on the dipstick mark :(  Put 1 litre in and finished my journey :)  There is no water in the oil , no residue in the filler cap or dipstick, the car does not overheat, in fact if I hadnt got the check oil message I would have been none the wiser.  Have searched the forum and it seems probable that it is the oil cooler, but would like someone older and wiser (well wiser anyway) than me to give some advise.

Cheers

As rare as the oil cooler is to fail on the 2.2 Dti....I would say yes, oil cooler

Thanks,

I have bit the bullet & ordered a new oil cooler.  Just hope thats it and not the gasket. :)
