jagwit Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Were American Disco 2's 4.6? If so, do they have engine oil coolers? (The P38 4.6 did have oil coolers so I'm wondering if LR fitted the Disco also with oil cooler when fitted with 4.6). Here in South Africa we only got 4.0 Discos.

pegasus Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Can`t answer the oil cooler question, but yes the American disco 2 was a 4.6.<BR>Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The UK 3.9s have oil coolers so why wouldn't the 4.6.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 The UK 3.9s have oil coolers so why wouldn't the 4.6.. the later rrc's take the oil through the radiator. same as the auto fluid - it passes through the radiator and then through the bog brush. on a p38 both the engine and gearbox have their own big cooler at the front.

G Much the same as my disco then engine oil cooler is part of the radiator and the auto box cooler is the finned unit (brush) positioned behind the grill in front of the rad, it's also the same with a 300tdi disco. But that doesn't answer the question "The UK 3.9s have oil coolers so why wouldn't the 4.6?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodave Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 USA D2's were 4.0 from '99 to late 2002. For the 2003 model year, they stopped the 4.0 and replaced it with the 4.6. Oil coolers were only fitted to pre 2003 models - or at least my April 2003 manufactured 4.6 doesn't have an oil cooler - just a couple of big blanking plugs in the front cover.

That's the kind of info I was hoping to get. It would be nice if we could confirm if oil coolers were indeed fitted to the 4.0 models. (There is no mention of oil coolers in my Rave CD) If this was the case I'ld like to get hold of one to fit to my D2 (now 4.6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodave Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Oil coolers definately were fitted to the 4.0 models, but the pipes and unions occasionally give problems IIRC - so I'd just stick to MOCAL branded hose and coolers if you wanted...
