Totally shocked at what I found..
Had to replace the end tank on my cars radiator this week.
When I pulled the rad and oil cooler unit I was absolutely shocked at what I found..Check it out..
And the car ran sweetly with no hint of a problem..
Anyhow,all is sorted after I found a major leak in the oil cooler as well-this was probably the cause of all the crap build up..

Every 535 in S.A. came fitted with an oilcooler as std.
I think its got to do with the climate .

Barry, no e34 that I know of had oil coolers fitted as standard. I thought you where aussie there for a moment, S.A = South Australia, well not quite! I have the lines and cooler at home, I just need the oil cannister (US$75 used or us$300 new) and a few clips to install it. Do you have an oil temperature gauge Barry? These things are very rare in Australia.
