Oil cooler radiator location

costa84 · 11-16-2023, 06:58 AM

can someone please help to identify the radiator which is located on a passenger side, is it for engine or transmission oil? on RealOem it is listed as a engine oil rad, but searching with the p/n 17217853240 it is showing as transmission radiator.

The oil radiator is on the passenger (right side) of the car. On my car ( manual transmission), it is cooling engine oil. Not sure if it is transmission fluid if you have the dct.

thanks for your reply, my car is manual and due to the previous accident oil is leaking from passenger side radiator. So I m trying to buy new one but fun part is that some indicate it as a trans and some as engine oil radiator ))
