T350 oil cooler

[blueyes]

Just been for a drive for about an hour- A roads and through towns. Got back to the garage and decided to look in the big vents either side of the number plate in the front of the car. I could see two radiators. The rear one was obviously the water rad so the front one must have been the oil cooler. I touched them both and although the water rad was hot, the other one was stone cold. Is this normal?

BTW the oil temp was about 90-92 and the water was 94-96 and the fans cut in and out as normal.

Aircon condensor???

Thanks for the reply but I don't think so (But then again I could be wrong!). It's as big as the rad behind it.

I'll go and have another look and see where the feed pipes come from and go to.

Meanwhile, any other suggestions?

Just had a look on the engine forum and there was this interesting post:

" An oil cooler is quite an effective way to cool the engine because the oil runs at much higher temperature than the water. As long as you don't then take the hot air off the oil cooler and blow it over the water radiator! (Seen that done!)"


I don't think TVR would be that thick so a/c condensor could be right!

I'll go and have another look!
