In models that have an oil cooler but have no fan associated with it, will the engine run significantly hotter without it? It seems like it would be most effective in wind (such as on the highway); but, in traffic, where engines are subject to overheating the most, it wouldn't be as effective. I ask because mine is defective in a W124 Diesel Turbo (93 300D Turbo) -- it is cracked and I'd like to avoid replacing it. Would there be any other adverse consequences...
