VR6 radiator on a 16v

as it say i was wondering if a VR6 radiator and fans would fit on my 16v corrado, and how much of a job is it.

the vr6 rad mounting holes wont line up with the 16v slam panel

phatvr6 has got a vr6 rad on his,and his started life as a 2.0 8v,so it will fit,not sure if he got hold of a vr6 slam panel though

cheers just neet to find out if it will fit behind a standard 16v bumper then, if i have to change the slam panel then ill just leave it.

you should be able to fit a longer rad, as the 16v came with a long rad if specced for air con. and there are certainly mounting points for other sized rads on my 1990 16v, you may be better off looking for a passat rad with the twin fans though.

 

But...

the 16v rad is pretty efficient, are you planning on racing this across the Sahara or something :)
