Stupid Questions

[Yanayaya]

Ok I think I may need more sleep but can someone help me with a couple of potentially stupid questions?

Ok so, is my "expansion tank" located behind the front bumper in the most annoying place on earth?
Does my car have an oil cooling radiator? if so...where is it?

I apologise in advance but it's been a long week.

I don't think so no, I believe the system runs without one. The only thing behind your bumper is a crash bar, the horns, radiator / air con radiator, power steering cooler, washer fluid, that sort of thing.

I don't think there is an oil cooler, no.

Oh good then it's not just me. I thought I was going mad haha.

04 systems have an expansion tank where the 05/06 ECU is...05/06 cooling system looks prettier but less-well designed.

If you want an oil cooler GSD2000 might be able to sort you out.

edit: here's a start...

Expansion tank is behind the bumper but can be removed from under the wheel arch it's vented so not pressurised where as the 04 cars are a sealed pressurised tan in the engine bay



No oil cooler

Since the OP seems to have his answer, are the 04's definitely pressurised? There's a pipe running from by the cap down to below the chassis legs, and I can't see a regulator jobbie. Could be blind...
