Does my V6 have a transmission oil cooler?

Post by Getcarter » Mon May 05, 2014 8:01 pm

Bit confused here, I have been doing some reading on transmission oil cooling as we tow a big old caravan and I am not sure if my V6 already has one or if I should look at getting one fitted.

Can anyone let me know?

Thanks!

There is a heat exchanger in the bottom of the radiator. If you plan on a lot of towing then a dedicated cooler would be a good idea.

Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
