 Hello all.
Does anyone know where I can get a set of engine oil cooler pipes for a 2.5TD engine?  Vauxhall advised they arent made anymore and mine are corroded.  Any help gratefully received as oil is spraying out all over the place

Can't help in supplying them, but you may find there are plenty of other cars using the same pipes, anyone with EPC care to check?

If you don't hear anyone here offering to sell you one, there are plenty being broken on ebay.

And just to make it more difficult, there are different types on an Omega, the fixings to the oil filter are different depending on the year. Mine went a few years back and IIRC they were £119 each so I went to a hydraulic pipe maker and had some rubber ones made using my fixings to the oil filter and oil cooler, it cost me £35 and there's no chance of them ever rusting again

Oh and welcome to the forum

Thanks guys.  Im no nearer.  I think Ill leave the car off the end of a cliff.  This is rediculous and I find it really frustrating Vauxhall cant help

"Vauxhall can't help" - You will be hearing that a lot!  It is a bit embarrassing when you ask for a TD Oil filter, and you are told "Oh, we can can try to get you one sir"!  Grrr!
