The 240Ds that stayed in Germany did not have oil coolers. There are folks on this forum that have put many miles on their Euro 240Ds in hot climates W/O oil coolers. My conclusion is that they are not needed and only a potential source of problems as you found out. Sounds like you were indeed lucky on that one. I have several sets of OCs and hoses that I have taken off 240Ds if anyones interested.

Your car really looks great.
