A20 LEE 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Can anyone help me with an exploded view + part numbers for the radiator assembly? Mainly after the part number/s for the metal cowl which sits on the back of the rad which the fan mounts too. Be helpful to see all the parts which are associated with the assembly though. TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted October 29, 2005 Ah fudge. I've gotta go out now, but I'll see if I can pull off the right ones when I get back - I just saw a radiator and assumed it was the coolant one, not bloomin' AC :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted October 30, 2005 I'd still be very careful about posting those pictures on a public forum, folks. It regularly happens on German forums that Lexcom inteferes with threats for legal action. Just a thought ... Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted October 30, 2005 I'm ordering a new radiator on monday + the metal shroud which fits on the back. What else should i order? New mounting rubbers, v-belt, brackets but what about the temp senders and switches? I believe you can fit a different set from another model which makes the fan cut in at a lower temp? Also any idea of the cost of a new fan motor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted October 31, 2005 ordered the radiator cowl and the plastic guard for GPC today prices below, radiator i'm getting from gsf at the weekend. The assorted spacers mounts and brackets will be bought from the dealers. cowl: £45+vat plastic guards: £5ea + vat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted October 31, 2005 *cough* what pics? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted November 13, 2005 bought all new seals, mounting rubbers, spacers and retainers from the dealers £35. Turning out to be very expensive overhauling the cooling system with brand new parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 13, 2005 Yeah, it's the best thing to do tho Lee, buying the extras bits... We did Dinkus's rad the other week end and found a few missing bits and had to get a couple of self tappers to replace missing / rusty ones and one of the rubber carriers was missing and also the copper washer on the fan thermoswitch...

Slightly different from the factory part in that its painted black. Still got a few bits to buy, new fan motor, V-Belt and the temp switch then time to start on the oil cooling.

Supercharged 2 Posted November 19, 2005 Lee - the GSF rad doesn't come with the plastic elbow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Lee - the GSF rad doesn't come with the plastic elbow... The one which fits on the top right? Does that need replacing too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 19, 2005 Yeah, you should do really as they warp - at least replace the O ring... Dinkus bought a GSF rad but once you add the missing elbow, screws and O ring the VAG one works out about a fiver cheaper... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dinkus bought a GSF rad but once you add the missing elbow, screws and O ring the VAG one works out about a fiver cheaper... got the O-ring, should the radiator have little brackets on the engine side (drivers) as shown below?. Looks like a good quality product tho'. Would have prefered the rad to be silver for a minter look through the grille but i can live with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 20, 2005 Don't know what those brackets are for but maybe useful for mounting an oil cooler maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
