Hitachi EX60-2 oil cooler

[Bloders]

Right.... it's had about 3 hydraulic oil cooler repairs.
Can anyone suggest where to get a new oil cooler from for our EX60-2 please

Any suggestions why is keeps going. The hydraulic cap seems to be a pressurised version so I assume the system is meant to hold some pressure in?

No other apparent problems with the machine that could contribute towards this

I kid you not, but have you tried Hitachi UK (formerly HM Plant)?

I was chatting with @ACEngineering about their recent turn around in pricing.

I priced a new one for our ex 75 just 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was rotten at the bottom elbow, 850 no ish from hm plant I think.
In the end i got it repaired.

Is it beyond repair? I'm hoping ours will be o
In a container headed for somewhere warmer before I need to repair it again..

Hitachi UK. Was HM plant.
Been surprised how cheap parts are imo!
Other than a small coolant header tank I wanted that was dear at first £170 then realised I was being quoted for one with a level sensor in bottom which my machine didnt have. Correct part was about £45 if I recall right.

HM Plant want £1239.03 plus VAT.
so, errr no, i wont be buying from them.

Radiator guy i spoke to says they "rot from the outside in" and then leak. its been repaired two or three times now, so time for a new one i think!

Any vibration through the cooler at certain revs?
And its not blocked?

i dont think so (not sure how to tell but machine is smooth as far as you can tell)
dont believe its blocked as it lasts a couple of years then goes again.

Not so bad I thought it was going more frequent.

I needed some parts a couple of years ago. Lavin wanted twice the price HM plant wanted and his part was second hand!

Just shows - it pays to shop around and check the manufactures prices - they can surprise you - with drilled glass from Manitou surprisingly cheap on more than one occasion - operators manuals - JCB Handler £56-00 Manitou usually a fraction of that!
