Re: [MBZ] Just finished the oil cooler job on the GL and….
Turns out it’s pissing out of the connection where the egr cooler connects to the coolant port on the bottom of the left intake manifold. There is an o ring and it either got left out (did not notice any left over parts), or somehow slipped out of place. Whole thing minus the oil cooler itself.

Re: [MBZ] Just finished the oil cooler job on the GL and….
I have not had a job go sideways like that in a while. I guess I’ve been fortunate. The last time something close to that happened was when I took the dash out of my Dodge and rebuilt the HVAC box. I put everything back together had no parts left over and everything worked and then one day my son-in-law got in the truck to drive it, and he is a tilt wheel guy…and the tilt wheel didn’t work. I must’ve forgot to reconnect the tilt wheel mechanism. Luckily, the guy in Albuquerque that bought it is not a tilt wheel guy, although I told him exactly what I did. after you get done, doing this a second time, you’ll be quite adept at it and maybe you could start buying cars that have this issue and repairing them could be your little niche of the market.

[MBZ] Just finished the oil cooler job on the GL and….
… I get to turn around and do it all over again. Filling it up with coolant using my vacuum filler, would never pull a vacuum. Odd. Pour in a couple of gallons of water, half way thru second gallon start hearing water hitting the floor. Crap. I get the snake camera and see it’s pissing out somewhere above the oil cooler. I thought it was coming out the junction between the to manifold half’s but nope. Has to be coming out of the egr cooler somehow. I’m not sure if somehow I forgot or didn’t get an o ring back in place, or something. Long story short it’s all got to come right back apart again. Wtf? Total failure oil cooler job. I think the only thing I won’t have to remove is the oil cooler itself. I bet I can have it torn back apart within a couple of hours. Going to have to order another round of seals and gaskets. wtf???
