Default Audi S8 32V (AHC) OEM Oil Cooler Delete.

As per the title.

Is there any sort of kit that replaces that ugly oil cooler, that will allow the use of a remote oil cooler and metal, screw-on oil filter? I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone - get rid of the troublesome oil filter (big $$$ when they go bad) and free up some space in that area.

Thanks guys!

Have you looked at the Mocal oil coolers which relocate the oil filters on SUbarus? Very simple to just use a thread convertor.

As in tap the two oil holes? I could then plug the coolant holes with core plugs, and take my coolant supply and return from elsewhere.

Also use an Audi A4 B5 TDI (AFN) oil cooler (sandwich-type).
