Oil cooler golf mk 5 2.0 fsi

[Rogersdave77]

Hi, new here. 

I have a golf mk5 2.0fsi 2005. My oil cooler is leaking oil, not sure if it's cracked cooler or gasket fail. 

How do I remove cooler without removing manifold?

Hi....welcome to the Forum

I think you will need to bite the bullet and remove the manifold as they seem to build the engines that way now....more work but gives you a chance to clean up the manifold, throttle body and breather system as well.
