[Mk2] [Generic] Replacement Radiator

Post by leewaring »

Is there any differentce between the Turbo radiators and an N/A radiator? Or are they all the same across all revisions / models of mk2?

I have a rev1 n/a and the rad is leaking and i've been offered a new'ish one off a turbo being broken, 6000 miles use.

Thanks! :thumleft:

As Allan has mentioned and for you avoiding hassle... you're best off measuring between the cores... the larger ones are 670mm between the end tanks ! :mrgreen:
