turbowagoneer855 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 the cheapest I could find were at (but of course!) FCP.anyone bought this product from them and might be able to offer some qualified input on the aftermath?should I trust them, or dig more in my pockets forthe oem stuff from the dealer?? incidentally: anyone ever tried to modify the oil thermostat and maybe use a stand_alone oil cooler, using braided lines custom-made hoses? this is what i have in mindi searched for "oil cooler relocation" on VS, and i went through about 15pages of results, but couldn't not find nothing specific on the subject)i get two questions, don't I? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsDemise Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 one of my current oil lines is from fcpgroton. it has been as good as the volvo one next to it just coat the o-rings with oil so they don't dry out as you would for the oil filter o-ring gasket.i can't think of a good place to mount that oil cooler though, the radiator oil cooler is fan cooled so if it were me I wouldn't bother.

Guest Guest_Hutch_* Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I bought two from FCP a few weeks ago. One is fine, the other burst after less than 4 hours. Perhaps it was defective ..I dunno. (cost me a very expensive tow too). Their site says they are Volvo parts on this item.They are processing my refund now.
