Oil cooler location on 2004 Berlingo Van 1.4

Post by Blazer811 »

Can someone please confirm if the Tu3jp motors with manual transmission has a oil cooler and if so, where is it located?

I ask this as I have discovered oil in my coolant reservoir bottle today but there was no sign of coolant in my oil. I also had next to no oil on my dipstick considering I did an oil change over 1 month ago.

My van had been driving fine apart from two occasions when the temp gauge suddenly went from 97 degrees to the red, but after turning the engine off and back on within a minute it would be on the 90 degree mark. After investigating this I narrowed it down to the new temperature sensor on the block (Blue connector) was actually faulty and giving the ecu a false reading.

Since replacing the temperature sensor the temp gauge has hovered between 90 - 100 degrees, but I did notice that when the engine was turned off the temp would keep rising. I’m not 100% certain, but are the cooling fans meant to run with engine turned off if the temperature reaches a certain range?

I understand that it could possibly be a head gasket issue or something more serious but I am hoping it could be something simple as an oil cooler issue, hence the post.

Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty sure there is no oil cooler on this - most likely the head gasket has failed. Is it leaking oil at the cambelt end of the engine? These normally come fitted with an oil leak there, and replacement of the head gasket is almost a service item.

Yes, as Richard says, no oil cooler on these - mostly on Automatics.

Thank you Richard and yes according to the tell tale signs on my driveway it definitely has an oil leak from that area. Which particular oil seal would it be that’s prone to leaking?

Could you please assist in directing me to a workshop manual link (if there is one on this forum ) to guide me on how to R&R head gasket along with torque specs?

I was very vigilant when it came to monitoring my temp gauge whilst driving and wondering if the cooling fans not engaging when the engine is turned off and cooling system over pressurising could be the contributing factor to HG failure?

Is the fan suppose to engage even when engine is turned off and engine temperature is rising up and beyond? If it is, what component in your opinion would you suspect to be faulty?

Your feedback would be very helpful.

Thank you Marc, I thought as much but was hoping that it did as it would of been a less expensive and time consuming fault to rectify ☹️

You will probably find a leak from the front RH corner of the engine where the HG is - there is not enough clamping force on this end of the head where the main oil feed gallery is and it starts leaking. It's a very common problem on this engine! I'll see if I can get the procedure later, but I would imagine it would be covered in the Haynes manual if you can get hold of one.

I'll put this up shortly if you like Richard, there was also a mod from the OP's RPO, so I'll put that up too.

check first if someone' didn't put oil accidentally in coolant. If it's black it's from engine sadly. if it's bright yellow/brownish it is probably not.

Oil pressure is higher on running engine than coolant pressure. That reverses when you turn it off.
With time it will eat/swell the rubber pipes and they will start bulging.

Oil cooler is sometimes integrated with the case of oil filter. Just follow water hoses that split off.
But in a weak 1.4 engine, might be worthy to look into a new engine/car. Cost of new head gasket and work might be more than the market value of said car.

Correct - oil from the engine in the coolant will be black.
As found, it will accumulate in the expansion tank (oil floats on water, and tank is usually a high point), as a black slick, so is easily spotted.

Thanks Sharkie but it’s definitely oil getting into the cooling system as I only did an oil & coolant change about two months ago.

This mishap has happened over the span of a week as when I previously checked the coolant (a week before) it was fine.

Apart from the brownish crap floating on top of the reservoir bottle the engine still seems to be running and idling fine. I was hoping it was more likely a oil cooler problem opposed to a head gasket issue (hence the post) but have been informed by Richard that this vehicle doesn’t have one.

So it’s time to get my hands dirty and hoping it’s noting worse than just a HG issue.

Sorry Sharkie, I meant to ask what you meant by “If it's black it's from engine sadly. if it's bright yellow/brownish it is probably not.” as mine is a brownish milkshake appearance.
