Who's arguing? You and Jet are both saying there's not negative effect from the air to air but now your saying it flares when cold?

Have you held a PWR cooler in your hand and compared it to the stock cooler? The sheer weight difference would suggest to most people it's highly unlikely that a comparison in quality or likelihood of failure can be made. Add to that move from the high vibration mounting area of the stock cooler to the new location or the PWR and it become even more unlikely the cooler will fail.

One question. Cold you run a pwr and oil to air together. I think I have read somewhere if you giving the car a thrashing for a long time the pwr can over heat the trans or something. With a pwr and oil to air it could prevent the chance of overheating and the pwr could help the oil to air on cold day?

Fact is at least one wizz bang PWR cooler has failed and milkshaked a ZF

Fact is we have NONE

Done over 20 zf air coolers and this is the first time iam hearning of anything in a negative, I would be keen to check fluid levels/fluid condition/filter flow then clutch slip in the zf before heading towards the air cooler

The only time an increase of "thump" has happened was when a ugly zf calibration was tuned into the box and even then we were expecting something to show up

If you are going to make an informed decision you must do your own testing to back up a pro or a con

Said it before it did SFA negitive to what the data said "might" happen

XA - listen to what I said before, the cooler/lines are placed in a particular location for a reason.... U know because we actually have done the leg work to back up what we were doing not just pot luck guess work

Cheers thanks ta

Karl I struggle to understand you sometimes but makes for an interesting read regardless

Wondering if XA be hating that my A6 HSV has a factory Air cooler weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

And amazingly mimics the ZF heat cycle almost to the degree :D
