I am putting this 12a together in the first gen and I am stumped. I can't find out where the oil line that goes from the oil cooler down the the y connection, and the out the connection towards the rear of the car goes... Can anyone help? My haybes mannuel is very vague.

You have an oil line that runs down to a "Y" connector? From your oil cooler? Are you sure it's a 1st gen oil cooler? I've just finished major surgery on my oil cooler, and it has nothing even remotely like what you're describing...

 

Unless you're mistakenly talkin bout the heater line that goes to the T connection, I don't know what you're talkin bout. I assume this is a water/oil cooler, right?

the rear? oil doesnt goto the rear?

 

I'm not sure what the hell its called. If you take a look at your oil cooler, there is a line that comes off the bottom. It goes DOWN. It enters another connection that connects to the engine. This connection has another one sticking off of it in a Y or T type connection, that faces the rear of the car. The one that FACES the rear, not nesseccarily going to the rear of the car, is the one I am wondering about. The Mannuel I have doesn't say what these lines are call or where they go, just that they are attached to the cooler.

 

I beleive we are on the same page here.

 

Seems like it would be much easier just to give the year and model of the car you're talking about.

Im sure hes talking about the water lines through the oil cooler, not the oil lines.

If theyre rubber, theyre for water. The only oil line that goes to the oil cooler is a hard metal line that comes from the front of the engine.

I dont remember exactly where they all go, as I took mine off a while ago, so I cant really help you there. Sorry .
