Handwheels Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 It was free delivery on the one I ordered, which didn't have the "A" suffix.In reality sure the £11.24 for a little piece of plastic includes the 'free postage' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Catcher Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 I am so reluctant to ask this, but what's a modine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 9, 2021 Member Share Posted December 9, 2021 "All wet sump Duratec engines have an oil cooler modine fitted to the RHS of the engine. It enables the engine oil to be cooled by circulating coolant around the oil-filled modine cooler."Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 This is a photo of the stats side bt side. The longer one is the higher temp, as fitted to my 420R. You can see the original T supplied with my 360R, it's difficult to see the distortion, but it was bent, and no longer round. Don't forget the gauge and the sensor in the submarine tube isn't the most accurate method for reading running temperature. I wouldn't worry at a 80c running temperature, with a higher temp stat fitted. Mine doesn't agree with EasyMap temperature, the strange thing is the gauge is higher at low temperatures, and lower at higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Catcher Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Jonathan, thank you - a water/oil cooler. Never heard it called a modine before. KTMs have 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 In many ways a modine is a better solution to oil cooling than the 420R oil cooler bolted to the radiator without an oil stat. It helps get the oil to operating temperature faster, using the warm coolant to heat the oil, then keeps the oil at coolant temperature as the temperature raises.
