series3100 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi, Im about to put the turbo back on the 200(T)di but dont have the oil cooler parts yet. Will there be any harm in running it without the oil cooler for a while or will the turbo instantly cook the oil? It's not like It'll be going distances, just 2 mile test drives at the moment really.

picpoki Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 In 2 miles I don`t think that even the engine will get warm. Let see what will the experts say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to go frazzling my endine but don't want to be worrying for no reason also! Cheers, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotMan Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have a friend who does thousands of miles with a tweaked up 200Tdi on a Series rad and no oil cooler. His does get too warm on long hard use but in a few miles it could probably run without the rad! Don't worry about it. There is a lot of metal and oil to get warm before the cooler does anything anyway. Long term having the oil cooler is a sensible and worthwhile move.
