Technical Headgasket or oil cooler Ducato 2,8jtd 2002

Hello I maybe have a bad head gasket there is oil in the coolant.
,But I have testet with a co 2 Headgasket tester kit today and and the fluid doesn’t turn into green that will say bad head gasket. And stays blue, So can it be the oil cooler ?

Not a common problem, but an oil cooler leak should be considered. Provided that a replacement cooler can be obtained, than perhaps an easier task to change it.

I have attached extracts from Fiat eLearn, and Iveco manual. eLearn seems to overlook draining the cooling system, but the tightening torque for the cooler may be useful.

Thanks very useful information. I found a new orginal cooler with number from eper. But I am not sour if it the oil cooler that cause that problem, I was hoping there where any fiat experts that could tell me if it is the problem

Yes it could be oil cooler.

To check; disconnect the coolant pipes from the oil cooler, then join the coolant pipes together with suitable pipe and hose clips . Run the engine and look for oil coming from the open coolant ports of the oil cooler.

Ja det kunne være oliekøler.

For at kontrollere; frakobl kølevæskerørene fra oliekøleren, og sæt derefter kølevæskerørene sammen med passende rør- og slangeklemmer . Kør motoren og se efter olie, der kommer fra oliekølerens åbne kølevæskeporte.

Hej jeg har tryktestet den nu under vand og ingen bobler så oliekøler ok. Jeg har også testet med et Headgasket test kit og ser også ok ud.
,Do you now what it can be then ?
