  Q:

  How to remove the Transmission Oil Cooler on both non-turbo and turbo models on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A:

  To remove the automatic transmission oil cooler, the front fascia must be removed in non-turbo types. It should be noted that if the transaxle cooler lines are disconnected from the rolled-groove type fittings at the cooler and transaxle ends, the inner wall of the hose can be damaged. In such event, cooler hoses and clamps should be replaced to prevent leakage. After that, disconnect the hoses that go to the transmission oil cooler. Then, remove the screws attaching the cooler to the radiator, before finally removing the transmission oil cooler. To remove the grille on turbo models, first, remove the upper radiator closure panel and then the center brace of the radiator closure panel. Next, remove the fasteners securing the transmission oil cooler to the A/C condenser, remove the hoses from the cooler, and remove the transmission oil cooler.
