trickydicky Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 hi all iv recently brought a r380 stumpy gearbox (reconditioned military box) to fit to a 200tdi I noticed that the oil cooler plate is missing .is it ok to blank it off with a flat plate or do the 2 oil holes need to run from one to the other ?iv heard they operate with a thermostat valve .I don't intend to fit an oil cooler but I don't want to bugger it up .any help would be great .

western Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If no oil cooler the 2 oil ways are joined with oil block FTC2104 Some come without the oil temp switch & is totally blank, not drilled & threaded, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 just had a look and they are about £250 its a lot if you can blank it off but I don't want to knacker the oil pump or starve a part of the new gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I believe so, fitted instead of the oil cooler take off housing which is item 18 in the parts diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 from what iv seen tonight they have a hole drilled from one port to another and a blanking plate were sensor would be .i think iv found a company that makes them for a reasonable price £45 R380 Gearbox Oil Cooler Take Off Plate - PIONEER 4X4 - Custom 4x4 Brake Line & Hose Specialists 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Nice find Tricky, want to add the temp sensor to mine, but its got the blank topped FTC2104. I have the sensor but haven't done anything further to fit it, may have to get one of those adaptors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
