Title: Oil cooler systems
Post by: Legend79 on November 15, 2011, 10:27:30 am

Hi,  we have 2 cars and both as far as I can tell have the same remote oil cooler and filter system. The one car however has like a round lump of alloy that some of the pipes go into, this car has a pressure gauge is this all the alloy joint is for?? Can anyone help?

There are some sandwich adapters out there that allow ports for oil pressure and temp. Most likely what you have, but as Dennis said, picture will help

The small tube comin. From the top goes to the oil pressure gauge as far as I can tell, I have oil temp also but that's not connected to this part,

Cheers for the help guys

I have no idea, looks like something from my BBQ grill, lol.  This is not a typical part found in a Legend Car oiling system.

Is there just one hose in and out? If so, probably something found at the hardware store to make a port for the temp guage

Not a standard legend part legend part then, there is just one pipe n one pipe out, so as long as I don't want the gauge I could just remove it and replace the pipe?
