Removal and installation of an oil cooler

In Kafer 1200 vehicles, the oil cooler is located inside the cooling fan housing. To remove the radiator, you need to remove the casing. In Kafer 1300 and 1600 vehicles, only the air vent plate needs to be removed to remove the oil cooler.

Attention! If the engine oil is contaminated due to scuffing on the main and connecting rod bearings, when metal filings enter the crankcase, the oil cooler must be replaced.

Removing

Oil cooler can be removed and installed with the engine installed. In this case, you only need to remove the engine cover.

On Kafer 1200 vehicles: remove the cooling fan.

Loosen the 3 oil cooler mounting nuts using a 10 mm bent box wrench, remove the cooler with spring washers and both seals.

On Kafer 1300/1600 vehicles: remove the oil cooler air vent plate, remove the oil cooler with angled flange and seals.

Installation

If possible, check the oil cooler for leaks (work done in the workshop).

Attention! If the radiator is leaking, check the operation of the safety valve.

On Kafer 1300/1600 vehicles: If the intermediate flange is removed, use new O-rings.

Install new sealing rings. Install oil cooler and secure with nuts through spring washers.
