tyetye Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hello. I'm sure LOTS of people have made this mod and I did many years ago which is why I'm a little annoyed that I can't remember the answer. . I've put a disco 200tdi into my new 90 and apart from the air box and coolant pipes etc etc I've found the oil cooler pipes are to short and for the life of me I can't remember how I resolve to problem last time. Can anyone help many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat2495 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I recently replaced mine with some hydraulic fittings and a length of suitable hose from my local hydraulics place. Seems like a nicer solution than the original metal pipes with flexible links in anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I cut and shut the original disco pipes with some steel tube, I would just use hydraulic pipe from an agri supplier next time, https://www.steveparkers.com does extension pipes as well.

Chicken Drumstick Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Can't you just use standard Ninety pipes? Think we used the ones from the 2.5TD. As they had the correct fitting at both ends and the correct length. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyetye Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Maybe that's what I did. Many years ago I put a disco lump into my 2.5td 90.. this time it's a 2.5NA ...no oil cooler.I think for now I will just cut and lengthen the pipes to get me out of trouble. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Not sure whether it's the same diameter on a 200 but when I extended the 300tdi oil cooler lines, I just cut the pipes and used some central heating pipe with a couple of jubilee clips on each end as a temp fix. It worked fine for a year until the local hydraulic place made up some new ones. IIRC new pipes and crimping the old unions to them was a total of £20 so a good saving over the Steve Parker set.
