    I have a 2005 F430 Spider and need a new heat exchanger, part #200161. My mechanic is having a tough time locating one; all the online shops show it can be ordered without ETA. No luck on eBay either.

    I posted on the F430 group on Facebook and got several people claiming to have the part but they all seem like total scammers.

    please help! used or new....

    Can I ask, how is that you know you need a new one of these? Curious because one of the rubber hoses that connects to mine burst just last week.

    My mechanic found it was contaminated with coolant.

    Coolant IS what goes into it. See below. My understanding of the exchanger is that they hardly ever go bad which is why you can't find them. Is your mechanic a certified Ferrari mechanic?

    worst scenario, is to buy a generic one and modify the ports.
    looking for BMW ones. I saw one of those that are pretty much alike ours.

    Sorry you are correct it was contaminated with some other fluid... I want to say transmission but not certain. Yes he is a very well regarded independent mechanic is the south SF bay.

    Can it not be decontaminated? Is something broken inside that caused cross contamination?

    That looks like a plate heat exchanger , if you put air pressure down one of the 4 connections you will get air back out of one other. Blank off the 3rd connector and fit a plastic pipe to the remaining one, drop that in a bucket of water and reapply the air pressure. No air will go into the water bucket if cooler is not leaking over the barrier

    950338 is new pt no, available to order
    If testing using air pressure, you only need a few psi, you dont want to distort the heat exchanger

    So, I am curious. A and B hoses both contain coolant going into and out of the heat exchanger. The exchanger is sitting on top of the oil cooler. Where do oil and transmission fluid go into the heat exchanger?

    Here are pictures of the top and bottom of the heat exchanger...

    Edit: It says it's for a challenge car. My reading comprehension is not my strong suit.


    Found one with a different part number. Not sure if it was changed mid-run. I come from 360 land so I'm unfamiliar with this design.

    If for some reason that doesn't work, call the auto dismantlers and they should have a bunch of them.

    So I'm curious as to how many miles on this car that's having this problem

    Thanks for posting! Interesting, those are oil pipes. So there is no transmission fluid that goes into the heat exchanger.

    I looked up a heat exchanger for a 2013 bmw ser 5 but all i found was an air cooled exchanger ? Looked nothing like it

    I always thought it was gearbox oil going through the heat exchanger. Can someone confirm please

    This really sucks that at 20k miles F430 heat exchangers are failing.
