How often????

At least twice on an oil cooler one.. and once on a coolant birdge one.

The failure mode as I understand it is that poorly maintained vehicles lose the corrosion protection of the coolant due to insufficient coolant changes and the cooler dies so if the cooler is from a known, well maintained car and doesn't show signs of corrosion it doesn't sound unreasonable to re-use it.

Depends on the balance of the cost of the part against the time required to change it. Undecided

Sep 2007 at 21:56 Remove it from the plate sooner rather than later, its not unusual for the rear cooler thread to strip when the nut is removed rendering the cooler useless (had this happen twice now!)
