Does the C32 AMG have a differential oil cooler?

Hi guys. This is a straightforward yes/no answer. The pic below is of a stock C55 which comes with a differential oil cooler (the silver thing with multiple fins).

Did the C32 come with such a thing?

That thing is the differential heat-sink. C32s don't have that.

It's also important to note that, the diff is jack point for some people on the c32 (I've jacked it up on that several times) but not on the C55, you'll break that heat-sink.

Wow, this seems like some sort of time warp, with PC Valkyrie and Bif posting back and forth.

It's good to see you both active here again. Especially you, Bif, don't be a stranger.

No offense, PC, you still are pretty regularly here.

The diff is a real jack point? You really DO learn something every day

i have nothing to contribute but good to see some old "faces" indeed.

i miss my c32 - sometimes see her around town...

btw- scigars...switching to c32 is a superb idea, especially if your accord is a 1983 (hey i had one!)

I used to think that too until I busted the $150 diff mount on our old M5. Some things aren't meant to be pushed up on.
