Captain Scarlet 84 Posted September 27, 2019 Never use the integral trans cooler in radiators, instal a separate trans cooler. I worked in a transmission shop for a while and the amount of failed trans cooler/rads was shocking. when the engine coolant gets into the trans oil the auto box needs a rebuild, it’s just not worth the risk. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhiaMk4/5 206 Posted September 27, 2019 Good shout, l had the above problem on an Audi, nightmare, probably fails when the car is out of warranty, mine was anyway, fixed it at great expense and got rid of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good advice there. Having purchased a Capri several weeks back, the radiator burst open on the M6. The integral radiators are rare to come by. And the combination did not appeal to me. I have installed a standard rad and an oil cooler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
