Re: Oil Cooler advise

Tim Mine leaked so I got one from euro car parts. Not made by behr anymore but a genuine part. About £700 but cheaper than OPC. http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy262/judthedog/f25e12d695f02c64c3dc64da0b0fcadc_zps6c28a1f1.jpg http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy262/judthedog/778fc4ff8c23853510c7d...
