    Oil cooler flow direction

    Ok chaps, I'm in the middle of reworking a few bits on the 5 which includes shifting my oil cooler, in the old position it was mounted horizontal so I had no problems with air locks, however it's now going to be mounted vertically so I need the feed to go into the lower port of the cooler and out the top.

    The problem I'm having is I don't know which line is feed and which is return.

    I'm using a stock 5gtt sandwich plate, standing looking at the front of the block which is which, left or right is feed?
