Mk7 Oil in coolant

[xr4i_guy]

Hi all

My 11 plate 2.2 140 has got oil in its coolant spotted it yesterday. I had changed the oil cooler for the later metal filter style a few weeks ago. I pulled this off again and pressure tested it seems fine.

I have clean oil still no signs of coolant in it. I'm thinking it could be a cracked head or block?
Is this common on a transit or have I over looked something?
Cheers Leon

you will get oil in your coolant tank even after flussing the system.

I replaced the filter, flushed the system, rinsed the tank and the tank looks awful again, it is the old oil still coming up

Problem is I don't believe that it was the new oil cooler that is the fault I took it off and pressure tested it and had no sign of leaks from it.
So I'm wondering if my problem is something else.

I thought it was just oil passing through the block and the coolant was just passed through one pipe and out the other on the housing of the cooler?

why replace the water pump ?

it has f*** all to do with the oil in water,.

oil in water is either the gasket on top of the pump or the shite steal gasket they use

Are we talking about a fwd or rwd

Being a 2011 2.2 methinks it could be either..!

Fwd model, I replaced the old oil cooler as it was leaking leaking the plastic, it's been around 3weeks since I put the new modified type one on and since had the oil in the coolant.

Somebody needs to tell Karl a bit about rwd water pumps Oil has been running through them since 2000 AD

True, but the oil & coolant can't mix through the pump, the water pump body is just a way to supply oil and drain for the vacuum pump.

It can leak oil from a cracked oil gallery into the water Knobby

Aye....but that would be quite rare I'd imagine.
