Not sure if the unit taken off had been replaced before but didn't look too bad on the outside.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 23d Gender: Male Posted 09/10/14 11:33 AM Share Posted 09/10/14 11:33 AM (edited) I changed mine when the FG was 3yrs old and now 2yrs later gonna change again.We have two E39 5 series BMWs and both run a similar setup but don't really hear about the BMW coolers failing. Maybe cause they are made in Germany I would think.Nevertheless came across these. Are they made any better??http://www.motospecs.com.au/assets/files/downloads/Heat_Exchangers.pdf Edited 09/10/14 11:34 AM by turbotrana Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89314-whos-still-running-the-original-heat-exchanger/page/5/#findComment-1505208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
