2006 MultiVan - Recall or not,..? Oil Cooler

[Umai Naa!!]

Oil cooler module on the front side of the motor, or the water pump.

I guess this is what water in the engine oil looks like,..!

There's a lump of oil half way down the haft,..!

Anyone hazard a guess at how much I'm up for,..?!

[Umai Naa!!]

I'm sure it's over full on the dipstick, too.

They're not too bad to do. Just a bit time-consuming to drain/fill/flush the coolant several times to clean all the oil out.

Any recommendations for a Mechanic in the Moorabbin (Vic) area,..?

How did you go Pol,..?
Mine cost $1300...!

[Pol]

I haven't got the final bill or feedback yet, it's still being worked on but so far it's a replacement water pump and oil cooler with an estimated cost of $1200 including oil and coolant!

Final price was $1195.00 for both, the water pump had movement and definitely needed replacement, no way to check oil cooler but replaced it to make sure, new oil and filter and new coolant should be as good as new!
Great work and service from Volkwerke in Greensborough.
