   The standard oil cooler/heat exchanger is located between the oil filter and the engine block. It should have 2 spounts which link to top coolant hose, the one which goes from the radiator to the thermostat housing.
   
   If you want to ugrade and remove this you will require a 106gti top rad hose which comes without the spouts(Earlier 106gti's didnt have this oil cooler)

   You will then obviously need to drain the coolant and re-bleed.
   
   GMC do a good mocal oil cooler kit with thermostatic sandwich plate for about £150 delivered.
