I re-used the captive nuts from the old radiator but they would not stay put!
Perhaps the teeth on the old nuts were worn off? How is the oil cooler held in
place without being bolted to the radiator? I didn’t see any options where a
friction fit would work.

Nut stays in place while installing cooler from awkward position.

Tech tip to keep the neighbors from thinking you are crazy.
Next time it's necessary to curse or vent.. whip out the cell phone and

So I finally replaced the leaking radiator on my 240D today. I bought a new
Behr- Hella from FCP-Euro which cost $195 including shipping.
The job would have been really quick but re-attaching the engine oil cooler to
the radiator proved to be a real nightmare. The problem stems from the fact
