Oil Transmission Cooler...

Zeb246 · Dec 13th, 2012, 00:00

I am thinking to fit oil transmission cooler on my S40 D5, it is a gear tronic. I have heard that they give out too much heat, so been advised to fit this.
This will reduce the heat by 25%.

One of the member on another Volvo forum suggested this to me, and it cost him £180 fully fitted.

Can anyone shed some light, as to where i can order one from?

I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure I've recently read a similar discussion topic recently where the outcome was along the lines of;

Not generally needed unless you're towing something, and if you are, the transmission cooler might have already been fitted by Volvo as part of the 'towing pack' which would have included tow bar, electrics, ECU software changes etc.

Transmission cooling is always a good idea for durabillity/oiloxidation/too hot thin oil
Towing or not

I just want to be on the safe side, as I will be fitting bigger parts on my D5. Milltek exhaust, dpf removed, downpipe fitted, remap, maybe intercooler.

Was thinking of fitting an aftermarket oil cooler.
