Hi Nick

Can you tell me if you have a fuel cooler situated behind your offside (driverside) real wheel. probably inbetween the wheel arch liner and the bumper

Thanks

Couldn't tell you tbh mate - would there be ducting up to it?

Possibly - would look more like a scoop and you'd obviously see a fuel pipe in and a fuel pipe out plus some sort of matrix like a mini rad. Its quite whopping large in design so just wondering.

There's something like that in the front of the engine bay - take air from a duct next to the nearside fog light.

If its anything like the E39, that is a cold air feed.

It runs up a duct and across a small radiator - Oil cooler perhaps?

No, 330d has the CAF in the proper place. Kidney Grills

Probably an oil cooler up front Nick. I would be worried if it was a fuel cooler. Have you actually had a look or are you going from memory? If its not there do not worry. Just wanted to gain some info.thanks

An oil cooler I could understand, but a fuel cooler?

Just had a poke about with a torch - can't see any ducting there. You can trace a pipe from the full filler cap to somewhere near the back seats, so I guess there isn't a cooler in between.

Ok thats brilliant. Thanks

Most high power diesels have fuel coolers
