Cars with Oil Cooler:
My car has an Oil Cooler in front of the Condenser (1989 325i Convertible Auto) and I am half way through the Condenser replacement, but seems that the old Condenser will not come out without removing that Oil Cooler first. Has anyone with an Oil Cooler car successfully remove the Condenser with the Oil Cooler in place?
The other option I see is to remove the Radiator, but I have just done a Cooling System overhaul and would hate to drain the Radiator and remove it and all that goes with that.
Resolved: I removed the Cooler Lines Bracket then removed the Bolts that hold the Cooler in place and that provided a lot of room to maneuver the Condenser out. I clearly over-reacted.
Thanks
