oil cooler

[teddavies]

what does it do.... how much does it run, and how long does it take to install... thanks!---ml 430 ---2000

the ML already has transmission oil cooling routed to the radiator, no need to install one, same for the power steering. What are you trying to cool?

[Gurkha]

Do you mean engine oil cooler, in that case, its an indispensable item for turbo engines with oil cooled pistons.

[teddavies]

this is a small oil cooler near the power steering pump.... it has fins on it.... just trying to find a cheap place to purchase it.... and how to install... it's leaking oil all over the engine....

thanks...

The cooler itself is probably OK. The O-rings are most likely at fault.

[teddavies]

yeah that's right. but where i am i can't find a mechanic to jsut fix the rings- they want to replace it.... it's probably faster and easier....

[teddavies]

anybody know if this is difficult or how long it takes...? anydiagrams anywhere and any special tools? \
thanks..
