To follow up on my post earlier this month pertaining to my 98 D1 Overheating problem, I should have my brand new Radiator delivery from AB some time tomorrow. And Boy I'm soooooo glad that I don't have to sit on that lump in my wallet anymore. It was down right burning a hole in my leather seats ...

While I have it drained and apart (I hope for last time until spring) I will also be changing the all the Water & Oil Cooler hoses as we'll.

Should I use Teflon tape on the Oil Cooler hose threads?

 

You shouldn't need to. I did the same job and as long as you get them in nice and snug they will seal just fine with the supplied o-rings.

CAREFUL: Be sure you thread them in properly. You do not want to strip those connections...
