Well, I cant be totally sure, but the catalogue from the shop said it was 12 mm oil galleys in the case, I am not sure if that applies to the oil cooler holes. I do not want to disassemble the case to find out ;-) > Does can you see a VW part # stamped (large numbers) on the > exposed part of the cooler (next to the oil pressure sensor.) The original cooler for the car is 311 117 012 B, on the T1 oil cooler in the car, the number is not visible. As far as I can remember, it was totally identical, except for the pressure sender hole. The initial problem I had that lead me to replace the cooler was low oil pressure at idle, with a totally rebuilt engine. I had a new case, new camshaft, new oil pump, new relief valves and springs, and new bearings. Even a new oil strainer. All other parts were measured and within specs. I tried to replace the cran9´Š earings (again), several pressure senders, pressure meter, different oil cooler, you name it, I tried it. The only thing I didn't try to replace was the oil pump (from Brazil), but as the car is undergoing a very slow resto, it has not been done yet. The oil is 20w-50 Castrol GTX. Any ideas, anyone?
