OIL COOLER PIPE

Paratrooper · Nov 23, 2019

Well,
On my way back from B&Q and the disco 2 lost drive. Pulled over and ATF oil all over the road. £70.00 to get recovered and on inspection oil cooler pipe had parted at the swaged connection on the passenger side. Does anyone know if this can be repaired with a jubilee clip or word the complete oil cooler pipe require replacement. Cheers

I'd replace them both given their age - they are not expensive, and they do fail .....but you knew that

IOW - they are probably the same age, therefore if one has gone, the other probably won't be far behind

Thanks for the reply. I think they are approx 100 quid for the LHS and 85 for the RHS. Job for next weekend.

dear enough then

ho hum, cheaper than a gearbox

...

IIRC, the unions on the gearbox are a bit awkward to get to ..... worth checking you have a short ish (24mm?) spanner ?

If you lost drive.

No fluid..

Chances are the gearbox is knackered.

I hope not. This seems to be a common fault. I actually pulled over when I noticed a slight judder. Fingers crossed...

Thanks for the heads up DISCO1BFG

If you pulled over quick enough and didn't try to rev it up while in gear, hopefully you'll be alright gearbox wise. Crossed fingers for you!

If you have a hydraulic firm close by take pipe off both parts and get them to repair the pipe I got mine done for £30

Think outside, no box required.
