Sockletless Lines Beware!
I installed this oil cooler to the letter (thanks ModShack!).
However I had a problem with the socketless lines - one let go while I was driving! I noticed the front tires slipping and the anti-lock brakes kicking in. Then I smelled oil & looked in the rear view mirror to see most of my oil on the pavement. I pulled over and shut 'er down immediately. After a tow, I jacked up the car and found one of the hoses had let go and sprayed the undertray with all of the oil. I'm cleaning it up now and will put it back together with clamps. I'd recommend using clamps to anyone who is adding this oil cooler. Has anyone else had problems? |
