Just got a quick question for the tech guys. Is there any difference in the oil coolers from S4 to S5? I'm going looking for a one at the local junkyards later today, and was wanting to know if there was anything I need to watch for, besides the usual junkyard attempts to sell you broke stuff

 

I don't see how a junkyard would try to sell you a broken part since YOU'RE the one picking out and taking the parts off cars.

As for the oil coolers, try to get a clean one and one thats not banged up and bent.

 

you'd be amazed some of the stuff I've seen JY's try to pull on people...as for the ones around here, most of them won't allow you to go in and pull the parts yourself. To be honest, the first time I heard of that, I was kinda like WTF? Just needed to make sure whether or not it mattered which series it came off of. Thx.

 

To answer your question: S4 and S5 oil coolers are the same

 

yeah, there are some junkyards here that they try to convince you that a radiator is an intercooler, but some other places you can make them think an intercooler is just a plain old radiator

 

a few of the junkyards around here are real dicks about that. Either they get it for you or no sale. I usually request something and just leave when they get it,"no thanks that one doesn't look too good".

 

pick and pull JYs in my area have some nice people.... dismantlers on the other hand...
