carl0s Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 the little cooler in the driver-side wheel arch.. does this break? What is it? I noticed a spot of oil on the driveway underneath it, and it's all a bit gungy just below it kind of looks like oily-mud. Pictures are on my camera but I'm out at an office in Leeds at the mo. After driving to Leeds just now (50 miles), I touched the cooler and it wasn't even slightly warm. Should I be worried? cheers, Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 It's the diff cooler, they seem to fall apart and acquire random holes in the pipes, remove and bypass or fit a Mocal / Toyota one back in there.

Am I going to be safe driving the car back from Leeds and over to blackpool tonight ? I presume then that I have lost all oil from the diff? Where is the oil level checked and how is it filled? Sorry about the onslaught of questions. Most important one is am I safe to drive? cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 leak fixed now thanks to goodyear rubber hoses and Beeston Motor Spares jubilee clips Haven't checked or filled the oil though. There was a hole in the upper pipe just above the lip. I have absolutely no idea how such a hole could be created as there doesn't appear to be any way a stone could hit it - it's all covered by a plastic shield.

Zed Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 What do these coolers cost from Mr T ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 What do these coolers cost from Mr T ? about £150 apparently. Non-Toyota ones can be had for around £25 apparently, possibly from eBay. Brackets might need to be fabricated though. One chap on here has done a very smart job on a £20 cooler he bought from his local motor factor. Forgotten his name though I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
