VR6 cooling system refurb-Have i missed anything?

[MK1Campaign 0]

Im having a new radiator fitted in a few weeks at Stealth.

 

I have the following parts, VAG radiator, Gruvenparts rad neck and crack pipe, VAG header tank and cap, sensor that screws in the bottom of radiator, belt that runs between two fans and a set of Samcos.

 

Is there anything i have missed thats worth doing at the same time?

 

I had a new water pump, serpentine belt and Gruvenparts belt tensioner fitted at the last service.

Thermostat was done about 12 months ago.

Ill leave the matrix till it blows i think. Will make a very expensive job if thats done as well at the same time.

how about the auxhillary water pump (the electrically driven one), they're prone to breaking down over time & failing, if its noisy get shot of it!
