hi folks new 928s4 owner here-my external oil cooler on my car is weeping
for the time being while i source repair/replacement or possibly aftermarket conversion i could do with capping off the oil cooler outlets so as to use the car
i understand i may need to alter the oil cooler stat-presumably remove the small spring-if really necessary?
i live in scotland so temps here and fairly gentle use would dictate an oil cooler is probably not required
does anybody have the spec/size for the blanking caps i need
the thread sizes for the block would be handy too so that i can source some normal an10/12 fittings for aftermarket

When the NLA rubber mounting grommets wear out, the vibration and flex causes these leaks.
Find someone who can flow low temperature aluminum solder into this entire area and it will be better than new. (The cooler will need to be ultrasonically cleaned inside and out before they can do this.)
New coolers have been on backorder, from Porsche, however I recieved a new cooler from Porsche 3 weeks ago....
In the interm, get some pre-1990 oil cooler hoses and hook up the cooler in the radiator.
(The cooler in the radiator is actually a better approach in cold climates, since the water heats up the oil quicker.)
