Oil cooler hoses - need help

[Wildthings]

One hose goes to the water pump and the other goes to the thermostat hosing IIRC.

Having had one of those hoses fail once, I just eliminated the cooler altogether, plugged hole in the water pump, and blocked the port in the thermostat hosing and just let the synthetic oil I run do the job of handling the heat. The 1.9L ran fine without the cooler and the 2.1L will do just as well.

Thanks very much, that is helpful!

Hi folks, I cannot find a reference diagram showing where the two hose connections from the stock oil cooler on a 2.1 lead to. There are two hoses, one with a sharper bend than the other. I know one goes to the metal "U" bend pipe that goes to the water pump, but not sure where the other one goes. I forgot to take a reference pic of this area. Can anyone show me a pic of how these hoses are connected? Many thanks,

Andy
