A little side note regarding oil coolers -
I have had a few vehicles where the oil cooler ran through the radiator, like the early style Volvos. A mechanic told me that the design set-up was done to serve two purposes; cool the oil when hot, but also warm the oil up when cold. I guess kind of an equalizer of sorts.

Yeah.
You said you talked with do88. Their Heater Hoses for the RN P80s might be usable, but I don't remember the size of the hoses offhand. I want to say 5/8"/16mm.

The cooler (exchanger) on the pan does the same thing, just without the tedious hoses out front.Sveedy wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 09:47 A little side note regarding oil coolers -

I did my pan swap as part of a manual swap and did away with ALL of those stupid hoses out at the radiator.

Looks like maybe some trimming but I think that could work.

Oops, I stumbled into '99 NoMansLand. I dimly recall Abscate talking about a chassis break on this very issue - compounded by the fact my '99 is NA-M.

I see. That makes a bit more sense.

That might work as a non-silicone substitute for the left hose on the cooler. The way it bends back out would be beneficial.
The P80 and P2 coolant pipes don't elbow out like the P1's evidently do, so saving some of that straightened leg would be good. I'd still personally rather have silicone hoses though.

DO88's latest response:
Hi Eric.
Thank you. Provided that the connection is indeed 14 mm, I suggest you buy one meter of this hose. Should be plenty enough to make a soft bend.

What do you think?
