Alternative radiators and that damned bleed hose

[Diamond Hell 0]

I'm just finishing up the ABF install and one of the things that's been bugging me is the bleed hose on the end of the rad.

 

As the radiators get older the plastic gets brittle and more likely to snap.

 

Obviously the newer VAG motors bleed into the moulded top hose.

 

Thing is, is there a radiator available to replace the standard rads that deletes the bleed hose, so the later top hose can be used with the integral bleed hose?

 

I see part number 535121251C listed, which is used for 'warm climates' etc. Anyone know if this is either still available, or whether it has a bleed hose? It looks like the rad used on the Toledo 16V, which also has slimline twin fans, too.

 

I did search, but couldn't find anything on here about this....

Saw a rad on a Toledo TDI with aircon in a scrappy at the weekend. The fixings are the same and the rad looks to be the same height. I smell a bleed-hose delete WIN coming on.
