    Oil Cooler

    Does anyone have pictures of the hoses coming from the oil cooler to the oil filter housing on an M20? I was in a rush when swapping coolers and don't remember which hose goes where. I looked on realoem and think I have it right but want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

    it doesnt accually matter all that much i dont think. but from experiance they should naturally lay where they should go. other wise they will naturally look ..... wrong.

      It doesn't matter at all which way the hoses are connected.

            I don't how it would be possible for that to happen. The cooler certainly isn't flow direction sensitive.
