subseauk Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi guys whilst removing radiator for replacement, ( Disco 200tdi in def 90 ), i think i may have lost an o-ring from the end of one of the oil connection pipes. Can anyone confirm there should be one on each pipe end and if so any ideas of the part number? Thanks Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Disco 200tdi oil pipes in microcat don't show or detail any seals, most likely come pre-fitted to new pipes, but the v8 list these at engine end of pipe ESR1594L & ESR3098 also ESR1594 is used on 300tdi oil cooler pipe fittings, nothing in my paper parts book for Defender 200tdi pipe seals either.

Cheers Ralph At least i know i didnt miss anything easy trying to find it before posting!! I'd guess a quick run down on monday to local intertruck fitters that supplied radiator will be next stop.

ChrisW70 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Sometimes the o ring can get left behind in the oil cooler when the pipe is removed, worth checking just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( unless i want to order a box kit!! ) then intertruck who sell rads and make up pipes which look exceedingly like the oil ones in the engine but again nothing as small !!!! I'll be looking online tonight but anyone got any ideas on a source for these o-rings? cheers Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Orings-1050-c Perhaps? Or maybe these people: http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=19_4501 Does require you to know the size you want though, if the other side is the same you could measure that.

Thanks for those links I'm nipping into Pirtek tomorrow for some hoses so i'll check with them first and follow up on the links after if needed.

subseauk Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 if no luck with those suggestions, these might do the job halfords metric 'O' ring seal pack Hi Ralph Halfords was one of my first checks whilst looking for some primer but they couldn't say if the o-rings were oil resistant! If i find a good source i will post it as i can't believe i'm the only muppet to loose one of these rgds Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 but they couldn't say if the o-rings were oil resistant! sold as vehicle parts, surprised they don't know, but then again, probably not mechanically trained staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
