The torque setting for the oil cooler bolts on a Vauxhall Astra varies depending on the model and engine type. For example, on the Astra H with the Z18XER engine, the oil cooler replacement often involves securing bolts at approximately 20 Nm, but it’s essential to confirm the specific torque settings for your engine in a workshop manual or service guide
Tools and Materials Needed

Thank you for posting this well explained video! I've got an oil cooler on order and I'm starting work on mine today!
Great job! I'm so happy you posted it! Thank you so much for your help 🙂 best wishes from Germany 🙂
What torque for m6 bolts to oil cooler ?
Thanks for taking the time to show this, hopefully I can resolve my oil in the coolant tank issue.
Good video what fluid do you have to drain just the oil and coolants mine has a very bad leak i’m guessing its coming from there
I have the dreaded head gasket on a 1.4t meriva…50k miles wtf!! Going to try steel seal and let’s see
Do you know opel corsa d 1.4 66kw petrol 2009 have the oil cooler?
I have oil in coolant reservoir in my Mk6 Astra 1.6 SRi, I have taken it to two garages and both of them refuse to change the seals on the oil cooler and want me to buy a new oil cooler and housing! In your opinion, why wont they just replace these seals like you have done??
great job mate, the oil coller is water cooled in this car??
So what parts do I need to replace on my astra? Currently having the exact same issue
Top video
Any idea what the torque is for bolting the oil cooler back on? Cheers pal
Can you send a link to the seal for the part that goes into the plastic thermastat housing please?
Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks from Germany, I used it for my Opel Astra and sealed the oil cooler in one afternoon.
is the Astra H 1.6 85kw 116 hp imq oil cooler?
mate. got all my exhaust bolts off etc, nightmare ! forgot to take dipstick out. seemed like a very tight fit for me. did you have to remove the radiator? many thanks
What is the gaskets part number for chevy cruze diesel 2.0L 2014 j305? Thanks
My Vectra was in the garage to have rocker cover gasket changed yesterday. He said the oil cooler is weeping. Said it'd cost £1,200 to fit a replacement. Roughly what should a garage be charging to replace the seals please? I can source a housing if it has warped, just wanted how many hours labour you'd think.
One note… In these cars with A/C, you can just take the cooling fan out and you will have plenty of room to get the manifold + front cat assembly out with no problem. There are 6mm (if I remember right) bolts at the top corners of the fan and the bottom just sits on little hangers. Remember to unplug the fan and then disconnect the fan plug wires (bottom left/driver's side) and the A/C wires (bottom right/passenger side) from the fan housing before lifting. Also, be careful not to damage the radiator.
You're a wizard man. I had to pull my O2 sensor to get the exhaust out for the life of me. I couldn't get it to maneuver out with it in there still
thanks for sharing this video. My opel astra h 2009 mixes oil in the cooling tank but the oil in the engine and dip stick looks fine, did you think its oil cooler that is the problem?
Jak wyciągnęłes katalizator góra mój się nie mieści musiał bym demontować wentylator z przodu . Czy ty wyciągnąłeś wentylator ?
do you have to drain the power steering oil too ??? thanks
Hi there, all together 15 pieces of rubber kids. Isn't it? Thanks
To remove the manifold cover is a pain in the but. Even all bolts are removed, it's loose but won't be able to take it out.
Hey, how long did this take from start to finish including draining coolant.
As you can see
How much does it cost including labour
3:21 6:31 just for reference there's no power steering pump on that area …that's the water pump housing
Replacing the metal pipes is not really needed nor suggested by anyone unless damaged…as for reference too that is actually a heat exchanger but is always improperly called by everyone oil cooler
I couldn't remove the manifold, brackets were catching on cooler and A/C pipe, think I've solved it, oring was leaking on coolant pipe on RH side. How does the radiator fan assy remove please?
Does the 1.4 90hp astra have oilcooler?
Hi I just change the thermostat. And now is leaking from the same pipe that u did change were is connected with thermostat. I didn't have any seal or gasket there can u send me the gasket nember to get one plz
Great video, thanks.
My 2009 Astra Elite 1.8 z18xer hasn’t the sludgy waters in the expansion tank.
I’ve even bought another tank that I periodically clean and swap out.
Butter definitely gonna do this now.
Was going to get a new cooler but might just do the gaskets instead now.
thank you for this, will be attempting this today
Need this doing on my Astra 1.6. Cheapest I can get from a garage is £450. Other garages are telling me it's headgasket. So much fobbing off. How much would you charge for the job?
please my vaxhaul astra is 2009, and my oil cooler gasket is bad , took it to an auto shop and was told they don’t sell the gasket seal alone I have to buy the complete oil cooler casing , where and how do you recon I can buy the seal/gasket
Thanks. Can You give us a torque set for bolts?
