Component overview





Oil/coolant heat exchanger (oil cooler)





Removing oil/coolant heat exchanger (oil cooler)

1. On vehicles with PDCC, loosen the hoses on the oil guide housing.
1.1. Remove two nuts. -arrows-





PDCC lines

1.2. Unclip line under the air conditioning compressor -arrow-. Lift the lines aside.





Unclipping PDCC line

2. Place a collection pan under the oil/coolant heat exchanger (oil cooler). Coolant and oil will run out during disassembly.
3. Loosen the clips on the coolant hoses at the oil/coolant heat exchanger and slide them onto the hoses -1 and 2-.





Oil cooler

3.1. Clamp the hoses using hose clamp 3093 or hose clamp 3094.
3.2. Pull off the hoses.
4. Unclip the coolant hose assembly on the oil/coolant heat exchanger (oil cooler) from the holder. -6-





Coolant return line





5. Loosen the fastening screws on the heat exchanger evenly -8- and pull the heat exchanger down and off. During this process, both engine oil and coolant will leak out. Collect emerging oil and coolant and dispose of in accordance with legal requirements.

1.1. Then move the oil/coolant heat exchanger into installation position and fit the fastening screws (turn screws by hand initially). The old self-tapping screws can be re-used. Tighten screws evenly and diagonally.
2. Clip the coolant hose assembly into to the oil/coolant heat exchanger (oil cooler).
3. Fit the coolant hoses on the oil/coolant heat exchanger and remove the hose clamps.
