Yeah I saw that on YouTube. Seems a good write up. Would be good to see something with it done in situ so you can see access and stuff.

It's not that bad to do really, done it on mine. biggest pain will be getting the turbo out of the way.
If you've bought the repair kit from britpart make sure you use the green o-rings and not the black ones...

... its got a known coolant leaking into oil problem so fingers crossed its just the cooler
OMG
... walk away if you still can, the oil cooler will let oil in coolant in most cases not vice versa, coolant in oil can be much more serious problem like cracked block or something.

Resurrecting an old thread, can you do this in situ without removing the exhaust manifold?
My D2 started taking a long time to get to the mid position on the temp gauge, so I decided to swap the thermostat as this was the most likely culprit.
Sadly there was some oil in the coolant and the thermostat was oil contaminated - which probably caused it to fail. There is no coolant in the oil thankfully and the engine runs as sweetly as it always has, so the O rings in the oil cooler are probably shagged.
The job itself seems straight forward, but after a bad experience with my son's D90, I would much rather not touch the exhaust manifold if I can avoid it.
