Fuel cooler instalation D3 2007 2.7
I had a fuel leak about a month ago. Took it to the garage and it seems someone, not the garage, cut the ends of the pipes going to the fuel cooler and joined them, removing the fuel cooler. I have the parts ready to go on the D3 2007 as shown in the diagram. But the fuel cooler has four connections. So the pipe in the square is a double pipe, so it may connect to one or two of the coolers connections. One of the double pipe may connect elsewhere. The other single pipe is another connection. Can anyone tell me if I need another one or two pipes to the ones I have before I can connect the new cooler up? I'm basically trying to get a full set of 1st section pipes leading from the cooler. Not a lot of photos out there showing the set up.

The cooler by the starter has 4 pipes.
2 diesel
2 coolant. (Smaller connections)
The coolant pipes run under the fan shroud, to passenger side near the thermostat on the bottom
Not much point fitting it unless it has coolant connections.

That makes sense, so I need the coolant pipes as well. Cheers!

If the old cooler is still under there, maybe the coolant pipes are connected to it ?

Sadly they took it off and the connections were cut and the pipes joined, fuel to fuel, coolant to coolant. So I bought a new cooler and I just need to replace the first sections that connected to the cooler.

Solved....hope it helps someone
Took it to an Indy guy in Bangor North Wales. He found it hard but fitted the pipes in an hour no need to remove the body.
