raypau 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Hi guys, I've somehow managed to catch a stone chip in my radiator and now its pissing fluid at hi presures. I've had a temporary fix but just means i can't go very far. So my question is, does anyone know where i can pick up a cheapish rad, i've already checked GSF and Euro Carparts and has anyone had to swap a rad before? Cheers Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16vradge 0 Posted June 27, 2006 I've done mine before, wasn't too hard, but I've got a 16v so there's plenty of room to get in at it. My rad was from euro car parts, and came in at just over £50 - don't go too cheap on your parts as they'll only disintigrate in a year or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raypau 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks for that. However, I have a VR6 and it has two fan attachments. Were Euro Car Parts any good? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16vradge 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah it seems good to me, it's been on 6 months and still ok. They supply a german brand -called 'Eis'. I've chatted bout this before and someone suggested to remove the front bumper if doing it on a VR, should make it much easier due to restricted clearance in the engine bay. Replace the factory hose clips with worm drive ones too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eleanor 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Rads from German & Swedish are quite good too and pretty resonably priced Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
