The heat exchanger was seeping oil again on my '09 F4 1078 RR312. Rather than going through the dealer again, I took Chuck's advice...
Back to the subject at hand, part number 8000A1544, a.k.a. "Plate for Oil Cooler", seems to serve no useful purpose. The plate (#21) clamps onto the oil cooler over the bolt (#22) but makes no contact and certainly doesn't keep the bolt from backing out after a few months of heavy vibration from high engine revs.
What purpose does it server other than to get in the way every six months when the bolt backs out enough to allow oil to drip on the #3 header pipe?
...and stuck a wrench (spanner) on it. No more drip, sizzle, poof when the oil droplets hit the #3 header pipe....or you could stick a spanner....oh, nevermind.:smoking:
