Darkside Universal Front Mounted Engine Oil Cooler Kit for VAG PD / TDI and BMW Diesel Engines

Darkside Front Mounted Oil Cooler Kit for VAG PD / TDI and BMW Diesel Engines

Darkside Developments Oil Cooler with all fittings and hose required to fit on most BMW and VAG Diesel Engines with a 3/4" UNF Oil FIlter. This universal kit includes an oil filter sandwich plate which sits inbetween the oil filter and the housing allowing you to run an inlet and outlet feed to the oil cooler.

Oil Coolers are an important addition to high performance engines. Engine Oil can easily overheat causing it to becomes thinner and offer less protection to vital engine parts, resulting in premature engine wear. This is especially a concern on the VAG PD Engines, known for excessive camshaft wear

This is a Universal Kit to be mounted where suitable. It needs to be fitted in a position where airflow can easily pass through, such as the front of the car by the radiator or fog lights. The Universal brackets can be cut or bent to allow fitment in the correct place

The Thermostatic Sandwich Plate stays closed until the oil is up to temperature, keeping the oil away from the Cooler Circuit, this will heat it up faster and then maintain a constant temperature. The Non-Thermostatic is more for track / race use or hot climates where the engine heats up quickly without the need to keep the circuit closed

Thermostat opens at 80°
