Need a quick bit of advice before I place an order please!
My full fat has oil in the coolant - she had a bit in the tank at the service a year ago and a lot more now.
I’ve seen posts on here suggesting it’s just the gasket, but a new cooler isn’t too expensive from Advanced Factors - any way to check which has gone?

Replace it as you don't want to do the job twice. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Just found this thread: https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic61909...p;start=15

I agree with you both!

A much easier home job on the 322 compared with the 405... But if that AF price is correct? Seams a no brainer... Just be careful of the small thin brittle coolant lines! Or better still, factor in replacing them... That's what id do...

After 18 months and 20k miles, I'm still bucking the trend having changed only the gaskets. No issues and everything is still completely dry.  The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

I'm >30k miles after just having the gaskets done. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Think my oil cooler had warped when mine was done….. 1 week into ownership in Jan 2016….

So sometimes gasket isn’t enough if it gets left.

I’ll chuck my twopennyworth in……the job is roughly 4-5 hours labour, do the oil cooler & forget it. You may get away with gaskets….but…..if it leaks again, that’s another 4-5 hours labour. Just sayin 😜 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!

I just replaced the gaskets on mine. No problem. The cooler was absolutely fine and there was no need to replace it. Kev

I reckon it just depends on who is doing the job, if you're doing yourself (no labour cost) then it might be worth just doing the gasket, if you're paying full price to get it done then it makes sense to replace the cooler,

id say opposite.

if your giving yourself all that headache, may as well just do it once.

nothing more annoying than doing a job twice haha

i'd also refresh everything i can going in there. Its actually a sport

"nothing more annoying than doing a job twice haha"
Except paying for a job twice

haha touche sir.

so either way, refresh the cooler

if its leaking also maybe worth fresh coolant to flush the oil and if your expansion tank is dirty that too. Its actually a sport
