I've had a bit of trouble trying to find an answer to this question. I'm hoping maybe ya'll can help.
I'm wonding if any company makes an oil cooler that is Freon/R12/R134/etc to oil cooler instead of an air to oil cooler. I have a car that will have AC and needs an oil cooler. It seemed smart to run a small portion of the AC refrigerant to cool the oil (no air required). But I can't find any reference of anyone having done this before or anyone selling units. |

I can see why you might say that. However, having worked on the car extensively last year in a successful effort to turn it into my backup daily driver/weekend cruiser, I had nothing but admiration for the Mercedes engineers' attention to detail. Rack and pinion system to tension V-belts, flare fittings where the AT lines connect to the radiator (no hose clamps there!)... the way the car was put together shows that they thought about how it was to be serviced (rather than merely how it was to be assembled at the factory), and to me that indicates that they intended for the vehicle to be in service for many, many years. And speaking of vehicles that have been in service for many years, the newest 914's are approaching 30 years old. |
