| 4.2 SC - Oil cooler lines. | |
Hi All,
I've been quiet on here lately. If I am honest, i've not really driven my L322 as I want to service the oil and fix the stuck caliper.
That said, I did have it out recently... and was greeted with a split oil cooler hose at a junction.....

I was really happy with my repair, but it turns out the machinery place gave me a coolant hose.. and I am absolutely RAGING with myself for not checking the part number of the hose before fitting. I usually double check everything and would really like to hold myself to a higher standard...
FWIW - the hose was pre formed with a 90 degree bend in it.
Anyway...
Now that i've done it the cheap way and failed, I want to do it proper and not risk again.
Has anybody changed these lines before?
What are the yellow cap pieces? Are they oil connections or just mounting points? I know where the quick connect end goes, onto the cooler... but is the orange capped end hard to access? Feels like the front end/fan/rads might need to come off as there can't be much space.
If I am honest, I only replaced the rubber part because
A) It seemed easier than doing the hole line and it was only the quick connect that was leaking
B) Cheaper
