Alfa Romeo GTV Lusso 3.0 1999 - Changing oil cooler pipes #

Posted by Barry Walch on September 5, 2011, 1:18 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 1999
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 3.0

Hi

Has anyone out there changed the oil cooler pipes in situ on this engine? With the exhaust off and the oil filter it still looks to be a nightmare due to rectricted access. Any help would be appreciated

Regards BW

yes barry we did the oil cooler pipes change on one about 4 months ago. i think the pipes were about £180 it took about three hours to change them,as you say exhaust downpipe has to be removed. not a total nightmare job. we were origionally just changing the oil cooler but the unions were seized soild onto the oil cooler so you may end up needing an oil cooler so give the customer the heads up

Thanks Sean. The cooler has to be replaced as it and the pipes are badly corroded. Believe it or not the car has been languishing on a driveway for the last 3 years. Plenty of other work to do still. Many thanks.
