Timo. 0 Posted October 9, 2004 The radiator has just gone pop in the VR. Not even had it on the road for a week and its let me down. The G60 never gave me any trouble :cry: Ironicall it happened (or I noticed) just as I got to the VW dealers. Lucky or what. They want £140 inc VAT for a new one (special price cos I'm a good customer). I said i'll limp home first and then think about it. boo hoo Timo. P.S. bet its a twat to fit a new one too?

dr_mat 0 Posted October 9, 2004 That's a good price for an original VW rad. Bite their hand off. And yeah, it's a bit of a git to fit, you need to take the front end of the car off.. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted October 9, 2004 got it ordered. Dont need to take the front end off!! just undo the front engine mount a jack up the engine. Its a wee bit fidely but I had the radiator out within an hour :mrgreen: . The fans are the hard bit to get out, the radiator was much easier 8) Just need to wait till Monday/Tuesday to get the new one. I'm gonna post a few pics in a minute. Timo.

Timo. 0 Posted October 9, 2004 That's where the jack that pushed the engine up, was on. The height of the car is from the step on the grass. The picture kinda hides it! Quite useful when I'm working on the front of the car. :mrgreen: Timo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
