Oil water plumbing?

[mmt 14]

Hi guys

Merry Christmas to all. Hoping the break Will allow a lot of hours in the garage. 
 

I am moving away from after market Oil Air cooler and want to fit the original Oil water cooler/heat Exchanger to My GTI6 engine. How do I do the plumbing? Where do the in and out water tubes from the oil heat exchanger Unit Go? Any drawings or pictures. 
 

is this of any use?

Do you have the remote filter housing and oil-water exchanger which bolts to the gearbox? The hose above is correct. I recently purchased one.

 

The hoses in the pic are #10 Speedflow 400 Series Pushlock. You'd be lucky to find a good oem hose now.

In addition to the above, the water feed and return is via the radiator top hose. . There are two types, with the only difference being the length of the feed and return to the top hose. In the photo, you would use the one with the short feed and return. Some oil water heat exchangers fit underneath the original oil filter and hence need the hose with the longer feed and return. Baker BM do these hoses if you cannot find an o.e one .The one shown below has been shortened and bypassed , but you will get the idea.

Thanks guys :-) really appreciated! 
 

@peter- no I did not get hold of the remote set up. I’ve Got an original GTI6 one which fits under the oilfilter. See pics (engine upside down).  
 

would the hose I linked fit you Think?

It would never reach. Also, if you have A/C, your oil filter will be hitting the radiator.

You could always do it in aftermarket bits.

Links blocked by geofilter !!!! ? 
 

thanks Peter. I’ve no AC as it is a race car only. I’m thinking that I Could add some extra hose to that “Boutique de la 404” product to make the reach?
 

can’t really get My head around How the flow is right with both in and out from the top radiator hose? Would the water not just be standing still in the hoses? 

thanks again.

what is geofilter?

 

I'm sure you could extend the hoses. As you say, there's no guarantee you're getting continuous flow through the cooler.

 

mmmm........if it's a race car, I'd stick with the aftermarket oil-air cooler. Or is it getting too cold?

On the OEM hoses there is a restriction in the middle of the plastic part, you may not find that in every "racing" silicone hose.

Thanks guys. 

The original hoses from the 306 gti exchanger goes to 1) top radiator hose 2) ? 
 

do you know Where the other hose goes to ? 
 

I’ll test if it is Enough cooling. Been using Air to Oil coolers for ages and want to try out something new.
