    Oil cooler suppliers

    Hi guys, can anyone point me in the right direction for a supplier that doesnt want an arm and a leg?
    It's a 2.5 petrol acu engine. I was quoted $230 for a non genuine part, probably from china ?
    I have seen similar items on US sites for as little as $38 ?

    Talking about the arm and leg. Make sure you don't lose your engine or transmission or whatever you need it for. I would feel very uncomfortable fitting it to my vehicle and certainly wouldn't risk it to fit it to the customer's one.

    China quality varies a lot, so be careful with the parts from ebay and it doesn't matter which country is the item located at.

    Transporter, sites i was looking at were oem suppliers, which leads me to believe aussie suppliers are holding us to ransom ? Thoughts ?

    I just bought all the fittings cooler and sandwich plate with thermostat from mocal in the UK. Cost around $300 with shipping thanks to the crap dollar.

    There were cheaper options but the mocal kits is well known
