I'd reckon you'd pump more oil into the cooling system as you still have a faulty cooler installed.

I'd be inclined to wait to clean the system until after the new cooler is installed. While you're working on the cooling system, it may be a good idea to replace the water pump if the k's are getting up there. Mine was rooted at 240,000km FWIW.

I also vote for cleaning the system after replacing the oil cooler.

Agree with Bodgie, my water pump gave out at 220k also,but lucky i noticed coolant drips before it went bang.

I ordered the cooler from RockAuto as per JeanLuke's info on page 1 of this thread. $47USD and I opted for speedier delivery at $33USD which means it will arrive tomorrow according to DHL. So that equates to $120AUD delivered which is pretty good. I'll drain the coolant and get ready for fitting on the weekend. All going well I should get out of this for under $200.

Update; Scratch the $200 budget. Just got back from SuperCheap where I spent $105 on demineralized water plus coolant plus CT14 degreaser. Hopefully $250 will cover it.

Good luck with it. If you haven't got 1/4 drive and torx bits get some. Its tight in there with the manifold on and you need to be a contortionist.
