replacing early diesel radiator with later type
Posted: 07 Oct 2014, 08:52
I asked this a while back, but was buried in another thread and got no response so thought i'd start a new thread - if I wanted to change my (rare as hen's teeth) early diesel radiator for the later type, would it go straight in, or are the brackets etc. different? I know the hoses at the radiator end would need changing, but want to overhaul all the cooling system eventually.
Just for the record, my Tdi runs really cool (too cool without the thermostat) at the moment with new waterpump, even fully loaded up steep hills, so my rad is currently fine, just noticed how difficult/expensive it is to get hold of an early diesel rad, so this is more of a future-proofing exercise.
