hi all, need to know if a oil cooler from a 2.5v6 omega will fit into my  3.0 v6 thanks all gary

[henryd]

as far as I know all v6 motors use the same oil cooler and welcome to the forum

[Elite Pete]

They are the same but don't use secondhand, its false economy 

[henryd]

you could try here   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Oil-Cooler-93176626-Omega-Signum-Cavalier-/170506235637?pt=UK_CarsP    not sure how it compares on price with dealer

I thought the genuine ones were stainless steel.

Lol, well my genuine one is 9 years old and going strong....the key is regular antifreeze changes in line with the service schedule. Thats probably why the dealers think the original ones are weaker.....coz the dealers never bother changing the antifreeze.

they told me oem was stainless steel.. and it was.. :-/

probably parts may be different as the oem sold here are mostly produced in germany.. :-/

Originals were also stainless after around 1996/7

that may be correct Mr DTM for UK.. but mine was 97 and it was fully rust  :-/

[cem_devecioglu]

anyway part supplies may differ from here to there.. but the part must be steel briefly..

That was true for all V6 engines shipped from Elsmere port 

What you wont be able to work out is if the rust is actualy the cooler or deposits from the rusty coolant water

the part must be at home somewhere else..
