I have got a small problem with changing my radiator on my E34 V8. I disconnected 2 two hoses + the 1 small hose from the radiator, then I removed the 2 screws on the top of the radiator, holding the transmission oil cooler together with the radiator. Now when I try to lift the radiator out, the tranny-oil-cooler is still stuck on the radiator, somewhere in the bottom. I cant seem to find any bolt/screws holding them together in the bottom (hard to see thou) Anyone tried this before? :) | |
| You have to disconnect the oil-cooler feeding-pipes to be able to remove the radiator (at least on a M5, should be the same om your car). The oil cooler is "hooked in" (in your case for the transmission in my case for the engine-oil) to the radiator, this is the only way to remove it as far as i know | |

Damn, annoying stuff :) Then I would have to top up on oil in the gearbox afterwards, or is the oil-cooler empty-ish when the has been standing still for some time? |
|
| My not so crazy guess is that the cooler will be filled with plenty of oil. In my case i just topped up the engine oil afterwards, but im not sure how it is in your case, if you are unlucky then the oil-cooler is the lowest point in the system so then there is a risk that the gearbox will drain (alltough i do not believe that this will happen, but you better check with someone who knows...) | |
