replace oil cooler?

[Ameer Antar]

I'm rebuilding the engine on my '84 5kT, and I'm wondering if I should 
replace the oil cooler. When rebuilding my MG engine your supposed to 
change the oil cooler, b/c it stores clumps of carbon and oil which hinders 
flow and can contaminate the oil. Is this an issue in Audi 5-cylinders? I'd 
like the car to last a while, but money is also a factor. An MGB oil cooler 
is under $100 for full retail. What is it like for the 5kT? Any wholesale 
sources? The hoses aren't leaking, but look stiff, so I will prolly change 
those too. Any OE sources for cooler hoses? I already dealt w/ both turbo 
oil lines...thank god. thanks.
