So i have the following bits
e46 rack, danthe's pas pipes, e46 oil cooler and some extra pipe for the cooler
How do i plumb the oil cooler into the rack? Which pipe goes where?
I'm not a genius so pictures or diagrams would help loads!
Thanks

Cooler goes between the return port on the rack, 16mm banjo, and the fluid reservoir

I zip tied the 180 degree bend to the plastic shroud (in front of the radiator, behind the kidney grills) which I drilled two 5mm holes through for the zip tie. I had to remove the grill.
lower pipe is from the return of the rack, top pipe returns to the reservoir, self bleeds this way.
You must use oil grade hose, it's not expensive. Car water hose will be eaten by PAS fluid.

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?
