VW_OwneR_85 1 Posted March 28, 2011 hi ppl, need to replace my rad soon,found this on ebay looks prety nice!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GODSPEED-92-95-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-VR6-ALUMINUM-RADIATOR-/160532526076?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25607bf3fc what are your thoughts on this fitting and running ok? it says the size is 622x311x44 but i found a standard rad for the C vr6 and it says the dimensions are 625x302x32 which one is correct? will those differences in dimensions affect fitting? or do you have room for a couple of mm either way? thanks..

Jim 2 Posted March 28, 2011 We're always gonna suggest that you buy the genuine VW item. They last years and years! And buy the time you've paid import duty to the UK, it's probably going to cost you more for the copy rather than the real mccoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 1 Posted March 28, 2011 wheres the best place to get one? euro carparts is out and theres is £175 ,roughly what kinda price is the genuine? thanks.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 28, 2011 Go to the people that made the cars! :) Your local VW dealership! I believe a VR6 radiator is in the region of £200, but they're excellent quality and should last your car another 15 years as the original one most likely has. Where abouts in the UK are you?

James. 7 Posted March 28, 2011 I bought an original item in August 2010. 535 121 251 E - £182.35 + vat - Got the dealer (Corkills - Wigan) to throw the coolant (G12++) in with the price. Which is nice. Fitted it myself in a day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where abouts in the UK are you? so im prety much looking £200 then, also looking at what james paid. it deffinatly needs doing so i better get on the case, im from a funny old place called guernsey in the channel islands, we do have a vw/audi dealership over here but its in my best interest to avoid it, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
