For those that are running oil coolers (think most are using Mocal on here?) who is using thermostatic sandwich plates, it seems that most of the kits that come ready for the 306 don't have the TSP just a standard connection unit that runs 24/7. Does anyone have any issues with this as cold oil is just as bad as oil that is too hot, especially if you are running it on the road aswell as track

Even the thermostatic plates let some oil threw the cooler all the timeWink

I found on my 309gti that I fitted a xu10 into that for road use even with the thermostatic plate it cooled the oil too much.

Imo you only need a cooler if your doing track work/fitted a charger etc.

If you use some oil that works better when hot there isnt really any need for an oil cooler, even on track, mine hasnt and its fine.

I thought that a standard wouldn't need the extra cooling but then there are people running standard 6's on here saying that the oil is going well up in the temp on the track. I'll do a day with it and then see how it does, if it get's well up in the temp then I'll have to bang one on, if not then that's £200 quid I can spunk on something else that my Pug doesn't need Smile

Mine has a thermostatic plate and seems to run fine. It sits at 80c when on the road, only goes up to 90c when on track. I am running a 19 row cooler though which is fairly large for the 306. Wink
