Just noticed you posted it in the 356 section......might be a bit of a clue

In that case I have no idea.

I am trying to think what is speical on the oil cooler, running it though my head and I can't think why you would have anything different to my pre a or my 912s should just be a normal spanner. Unless some one has added some thing different to your engine..?

good call to see if before any further problems..
