Neil VR6 0 Posted October 10, 2004 I've recently aquired a stage 4 tuned G60 and the MFA reads 112 degrees and sometimes 118 degrees when I'm giving it beans. Is this normal or sould I think about getting an oil cooler? The water temp is stable in the middle of the range though. Any advice greatly appreciated.

W3RKD 0 Posted October 10, 2004 wouldn't want to see it getting any warmer to be honest might be time to think about fitting an oil cooler to be on the safe side. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted October 10, 2004 Really? Iit's stage 4 tuned with std induction and exhaust. :shock: The guy I bought it off is a VW engineer and I would have thought he would have fitted one if needed. Still, they're not big money are they? Do many stage 4 tuned G60 owners fit oil coolers? Sorry for all the questions, I've only had the car a week! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted October 10, 2004 check you have both fans working - there should be a rubber belt connecting the passive fan to the motorised fan but I suspect there's a lot of C's out there that have had theirs degraded and fallen off thus only cooling half of the radiator. The thing is its difficult to pick-up because it may only cause a subtle increase in both temps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted October 10, 2004 its a g60 they only have one fan :lol: unless one of my fans has also fallen off :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shilakadaddy 0 Posted October 10, 2004 G60's run hot as standard, but as soon as you do anything to them performance wise, those temperatures seem to shoot up! I'm currently in the process of fitting an oil cooler obtained from G-Werks, after on a run down south where I saw temperatures in excess of 140 C! Although if you really want to know the true temperature of your oil then the MFA isn't the most accurate of measures... its readings actually rise when you turn the lights on (the electrics are over 10 years old!) :roll: Like G-Man said, it might be a good idea to fit one just to be on the safe side, and would be definate if you intend to do any more performance modifications to your G60. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beavis 0 Posted October 11, 2004 A external ai/oil cooler is a benefit to any car regardless of its state of tune. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
