00:00:00.030 by people today I'm going to be 00:00:01.88000:00:01.890 replacing a leaking oil cooler in this 00:00:04.64000:00:04.650 particular car now you'll know when the 00:00:06.76900:00:06.779 oil cooler is leaking because you'll 00:00:08.36000:00:08.370 start to see oil accumulating on the top 00:00:11.00000:00:11.010 of your coolant reservoir you can see in 00:00:13.99900:00:14.009 here that there's oil floating on top of 00:00:15.77000:00:15.780 the coolant that's made it absolute mess 00:00:17.93000:00:17.940 in the bottle 00:00:18.68000:00:18.690 now this oil cooler sits in between the 00:00:21.23000:00:21.240 exhaust manifold and the engine block 00:00:23.72000:00:23.730 and it's quite tricky to get to but I'll 00:00:25.60900:00:25.619 show you how now to kick things off here 00:00:29.02900:00:29.039 you want to disconnect the coolant hoses 00:00:30.95000:00:30.960 to the coolant reservoir I have a catch 00:00:33.74000:00:33.750 pan underneath here catching all this 00:00:35.56900:00:35.579 coolant as it drips out remove the two 00:00:37.97000:00:37.980 bolts here that secure the coolant 00:00:40.13000:00:40.140 reservoir on and get that out of the way 00:00:43.00000:00:43.010 make life a little bit easier I'm going 00:00:44.99000:00:45.000 to remove the o2 sensor it's just a 00:00:47.18000:00:47.190 matter of unplugging it from the harness 00:00:48.56000:00:48.570 and undoing the o2 sensor from the 00:00:51.52900:00:51.539 manifold once the tensions been taken 00:00:53.86900:00:53.879 off the o2 sensor here it's quite easy 00:00:56.02900:00:56.039 just to wind out my hand with the o2 00:00:59.24000:00:59.250 sensor out of the way it's time to 00:01:01.09900:01:01.109 remove the small bracket that held the 00:01:02.63000:01:02.640 o2 sensor wiring and I'm also going to 00:01:05.27000:01:05.280 remove the bracket that holds the 00:01:06.80000:01:06.810 dipstick in place this is going to give 00:01:08.96000:01:08.970 me some room to be able to remove the 00:01:10.46000:01:10.470 heat shield off the exhaust manifold 00:01:13.35900:01:13.369 once the brackets securing the dipstick 00:01:15.74000:01:15.750 tube is removed just push it to the side 00:01:17.89900:01:17.909 for now we'll need to deal with it from 00:01:19.91000:01:19.920 underneath before we pull it out they're 00:01:22.60900:01:22.619 hopping underneath the vehicle you can 00:01:23.89900:01:23.909 see that there are two bolts that secure 00:01:25.70000:01:25.710 the exhaust manifold and catalytic 00:01:27.67900:01:27.689 converter to the engine block with these 00:01:30.08000:01:30.090 two bolts removed you can now remove the 00:01:31.88000:01:31.890 three nuts that secure the exhaust 00:01:34.13000:01:34.140 flange to the bottom of the candidate 00:01:36.28900:01:36.299 converter with the exhaust nuts removed 00:01:40.76000:01:40.770 you'll be able to pull off the flange 00:01:43.10000:01:43.110 just be careful not to damage this 00:01:44.84000:01:44.850 gasket here as often this gasket can be 00:01:47.53900:01:47.549 reused 00:01:49.17900:01:49.189 while I'm underneath the car here I also 00:01:51.64900:01:51.659 like to remove the sump plug so that I 00:01:54.38000:01:54.390 can drain the oil and this is just so 00:01:56.17900:01:56.189 that I don't spill any oil when I remove 00:01:58.13000:01:58.140 the dipstick tube now working again from 00:02:02.20900:02:02.219 inside the engine bay there are two 00:02:04.01000:02:04.020 small bolts that need to be removed that 00:02:05.95900:02:05.969 secure the lower part of the heat shield 00:02:07.99900:02:08.009 onto the exhaust manifold 00:02:09.83000:02:09.840 I used a ring spanner here to fit over 00:02:11.96000:02:11.970 the talk 00:02:13.07000:02:13.080 heads of these bolts and so they're 00:02:15.56000:02:15.570 quite difficult to get to but with the 00:02:17.48000:02:17.490 ring spanner it made it quite possible 00:02:20.62000:02:20.630 now before we can remove this heat 00:02:22.88000:02:22.890 shield I just want to get this dipstick 00:02:24.29000:02:24.300 tube out of the way so just give it a 00:02:26.60000:02:26.610 little bit of a rotation and then it 00:02:27.89000:02:27.900 lifts straight up out of its location 00:02:29.78000:02:29.790 within the sump note there that there's 00:02:31.91000:02:31.920 an o-ring that helps with sealing now 00:02:34.76000:02:34.770 the heat shield is free to be removed 00:02:37.01000:02:37.020 from the exhaust manifold however 00:02:39.35000:02:39.360 there's not much room to do this and it 00:02:41.27000:02:41.280 will create a little bit of a headache 00:02:43.04000:02:43.050 for you but persevere with it it does 00:02:45.65000:02:45.660 slide up and out of the way you may just 00:02:47.84000:02:47.850 have to bend a couple of the corners of 00:02:49.43000:02:49.440 the heat shield it is a soft metal and 00:02:51.29000:02:51.300 can just be bent back into shape again 00:02:52.85000:02:52.860 but it can just be lifted up and free of 00:02:55.07000:02:55.080 the engine now with the heat shield 00:02:58.04000:02:58.050 removed it's quite easy to see the nuts 00:02:59.63000:02:59.640 that secure the exhaust manifold and 00:03:02.06000:03:02.070 catalytic converter assembly together 00:03:03.83000:03:03.840 the lower half of these nuts can be 00:03:07.37000:03:07.380 removed through the access holes that 00:03:10.07000:03:10.080 are positioned in the exhaust manifold 00:03:11.93000:03:11.940 while the ones along the top are quite 00:03:13.76000:03:13.770 easy to grab out now just to give 00:03:17.44900:03:17.459 ourselves a little bit more room here 00:03:18.56000:03:18.570 I'm also taking off this lifting bracket 00:03:21.11000:03:21.120 from the engine just I've got a bit more 00:03:23.06000:03:23.070 space when I try and lift out this 00:03:24.41000:03:24.420 exhaust manifold now grabbing the 00:03:27.19900:03:27.209 exhaust manifold you do need just to 00:03:29.06000:03:29.070 give it a bit of a wiggle to try and 00:03:30.41000:03:30.420 find its way up and out it will try and 00:03:32.84000:03:32.850 catch up on things but it can just be 00:03:34.85000:03:34.860 removed by lifting it straight up you 00:03:37.19000:03:37.200 can see here that we've wiggled it out 00:03:38.50900:03:38.519 and it lifts up clear of the engine now 00:03:42.19900:03:42.209 with the exhaust manifold out of the way 00:03:43.85000:03:43.860 it's our first chance to actually see 00:03:45.59000:03:45.600 our oil cooler it's bolted directly to 00:03:48.08000:03:48.090 the block and it has metal coolant hoses 00:03:50.36000:03:50.370 attached to it as well now to begin 00:03:53.78000:03:53.790 removing this oil cooler I'm just 00:03:55.22000:03:55.230 removing this top radiator hose here 00:03:56.96000:03:56.970 just to give myself a little bit more 00:03:58.64000:03:58.650 room and I'm wanting to remove the metal 00:04:00.77000:04:00.780 coolant pipes that run into the oil 00:04:02.90000:04:02.910 cooler there are two bolts that secure 00:04:06.29000:04:06.300 this end of the coolant hose to the 00:04:09.86000:04:09.870 thermostat housing once those two bolts 00:04:12.41000:04:12.420 are undone that top pipe then is then 00:04:15.38000:04:15.390 free to be moved 00:04:16.43000:04:16.440 it's just fitted into the oil cooler 00:04:18.40900:04:18.419 with an o-ring on that left-hand side 00:04:20.24000:04:20.250 and it can just be wiggled out I still 00:04:24.50000:04:24.510 have a large catch pan underneath the 00:04:26.57000:04:26.580 engine 00:04:27.11000:04:27.120 just to catch all this coolant as it 00:04:28.79000:04:28.800 dribbles on out now moving on to the two 00:04:31.67000:04:31.680 bolts that secure the left-hand coolant 00:04:33.59000:04:33.600 hose and these bolts actually bolt into 00:04:36.11000:04:36.120 the back of the water pump assembly once 00:04:39.26000:04:39.270 these bolts are undone and you can't 00:04:40.76000:04:40.770 actually remove that pipe until the oil 00:04:43.01000:04:43.020 cooler itself is removed there are a 00:04:45.68000:04:45.690 number of bolts that secure the oil 00:04:46.93900:04:46.949 cooler to the engine block once all 00:04:50.24000:04:50.250 these bolts were removed 00:04:51.40900:04:51.419 I found that I needed to pry the oil 00:04:53.51000:04:53.520 cooler just free from the engine block 00:04:55.85000:04:55.860 before I could remove it once the oil 00:05:00.40900:05:00.419 cool had been pried away from the block 00:05:02.24000:05:02.250 it's simply a matter of just lifting it 00:05:04.15900:05:04.169 out you can see that that left hand 00:05:06.02000:05:06.030 coolant hose has come out with the oil 00:05:08.02900:05:08.039 cooler and there's still one more small 00:05:10.01000:05:10.020 coolant hose that's left and it's just 00:05:12.29000:05:12.300 held into the block with our inks now 00:05:15.40900:05:15.419 before we install the new oil cooler I 00:05:17.77900:05:17.789 want to make sure that the o-rings have 00:05:19.85000:05:19.860 all been replaced and are well 00:05:21.37900:05:21.389 lubricated here I'm just positioning the 00:05:23.60000:05:23.610 two pipes that sit on the left-hand side 00:05:25.82000:05:25.830 of the oil cooler into their approximate 00:05:28.07000:05:28.080 positions getting ready to slide back 00:05:30.50000:05:30.510 onto the engine block now as you 00:05:34.55000:05:34.560 position the oil cool up against the 00:05:36.37900:05:36.389 block you need to pay particular 00:05:37.87900:05:37.889 attention to the two coolant hoses on 00:05:40.76000:05:40.770 the left hand side making sure that they 00:05:43.25000:05:43.260 get into the correct location without 00:05:45.29000:05:45.300 damaging those o-rings now forgot to 00:05:48.95000:05:48.960 video here me cleaning up the block 00:05:50.71900:05:50.729 surface before I put this new oil cooler 00:05:52.73000:05:52.740 on make sure that the block is free from 00:05:55.19000:05:55.200 any dirt or any of the old gaskets from 00:05:57.35000:05:57.360 the old oil cooler before you start to 00:05:59.54000:05:59.550 put it into position once you've got it 00:06:02.15000:06:02.160 into location you can then do the two 00:06:04.10000:06:04.11000:06:06.23000:06:06.240 hose into the back of the water pump 00:06:08.21000:06:08.220 once they're done up you can then 00:06:10.40000:06:10.410 tighten up the oil cooler to the block 00:06:14.05000:06:14.060 once the oil cooler has been fully 00:06:16.25000:06:16.260 tightened down to the block it's time to 00:06:18.43900:06:18.449 install that right hand coolant hose 00:06:20.71900:06:20.729 again make sure the o-rings are 00:06:22.70000:06:22.710 lubricated it slides into the oil cooler 00:06:25.04000:06:25.050 and then it bolts into the thermostat 00:06:27.02000:06:27.030 housing with those two bolts now that 00:06:31.40000:06:31.410 the oil cooler has been attached I'll 00:06:33.08000:06:33.090 just quickly go through the reassembly 00:06:34.79000:06:34.800 process make sure that your exhaust 00:06:36.92000:06:36.930 manifold gasket is in place and in good 00:06:39.17000:06:39.180 condition the exhaust man of 00:06:41.42000:06:41.430 and catalytic converter assembly can be 00:06:43.61000:06:43.620 slid back down into place and then it 00:06:47.06000:06:47.070 can be located on to the studs ready to 00:06:49.64000:06:49.650 be attached back to the cylinder head a 00:06:52.15000:06:52.160 little tip here to reinstall those lower 00:06:55.25000:06:55.260 bolts that secure the manifold on just a 00:06:57.80000:06:57.810 little bit of masking tape on the nut 00:06:59.78000:06:59.790 then when you go to sit it into your 00:07:01.85000:07:01.860 socket it will stay there and not fall 00:07:03.77000:07:03.780 out it's much easier to reach in and get 00:07:06.53000:07:06.540 that nut started 00:07:08.53000:07:08.540 what's all the nuts for the exhaust 00:07:10.70000:07:10.710 manifold have been attached you can then 00:07:12.71000:07:12.720 grab your heat shield and position it 00:07:14.62900:07:14.639 into place again this will take a little 00:07:16.79000:07:16.800 bit of time to slide it into place and 00:07:19.76000:07:19.770 you may have to bend the heat shield a 00:07:21.74000:07:21.750 little bit but it can just be bent back 00:07:23.48000:07:23.490 to its shape as it's only a soft steel 00:07:26.26000:07:26.270 now underneath the vehicle make sure the 00:07:28.94000:07:28.950 exhaust gasket is in position you can 00:07:31.04000:07:31.050 tighten up the three nuts that secure 00:07:32.77900:07:32.789 the exhaust pipe on to the manifold and 00:07:36.65000:07:36.660 also the two bolts that secure the 00:07:38.81000:07:38.820 catalytic converter assembly to the 00:07:40.73000:07:40.740 bracket on the block now grab the 00:07:43.18900:07:43.199 dipstick tube make sure that a ring is 00:07:45.40900:07:45.419 in good condition and from underneath 00:07:47.18000:07:47.190 the car feed it up towards the top of 00:07:49.85000:07:49.860 the engine making sure that doesn't get 00:07:51.77000:07:51.780 caught up and hung up on things and put 00:07:53.93000:07:53.940 the lower end of the dipstick tube in 00:07:56.09000:07:56.100 its location from the top give the 00:08:00.05000:08:00.060 dipstick tube a few taps with a mallet 00:08:01.90900:08:01.919 just to make sure it's fully is location 00:08:03.65000:08:03.660 and that the mounting bolt can be 00:08:05.93000:08:05.940 tightened up and this also secures on 00:08:08.87000:08:08.880 the heat shield it's a good time now to 00:08:11.00000:08:11.010 do with the lower bolts for the heat 00:08:12.68000:08:12.690 shield 00:08:13.07000:08:13.080 as well now the o2 sensor can be 00:08:16.58000:08:16.590 reinstalled but make sure you clip this 00:08:18.65000:08:18.660 wiring up into its little bracket and 00:08:20.75000:08:20.760 plug back into the wiring harness now 00:08:24.74000:08:24.750 reattach the coolant hose and the 00:08:26.65900:08:26.669 reservoir bottle making sure everything 00:08:28.82000:08:28.830 is tightened up correctly now don't 00:08:32.18000:08:32.190 forget to top-up with your oil now as a 00:08:34.37000:08:34.380 bonus my oil cooler came with a new oil 00:08:36.74000:08:36.750 filter so I was quite pleased with that 00:08:38.54000:08:38.550 and didn't need to replace mine now 00:08:41.57000:08:41.580 initially I just topped this up with 00:08:42.98000:08:42.990 water as I wanted to flush the system a 00:08:44.81000:08:44.820 number of times before putting coolant
