Title: Vr6 radiator help needed
Post by: luke on 09 January 2013, 20:22
Mk2 is going in the garage for a few months so thought I'd treat myself to an obd1 95' vr6, unfortunately the radiator is leaking, and was wondering if its just golf vr6 rads that fit and where I can find a cheap one, next question is will my mk2 coilovers fit the vr?
Muchos gracias in advance

Gti outlets come out the same side if you flip the rad but the thermo switch is on the other side so guess its a vr only thing,sure ive seen new ones for around 30 so not to bad,coilovers will fit but you may need to change the top mounts over

Cheapest so far I can find on the Internet is above £100, and also on the rear they are kw coilovers but have leaked all the oil and are stiff and bumpy so don't want a bumpy ride

Just had a quick look on the bay and found this one,not 30 but not 100 either,looks like vr rad shares with other models looking at the listing

I think all twin fan rads are the same gti 8v gti 16v and vr6.

Also plenty of vr's been broken up, what's wrong with used?

Not bothered whether new or used, just need something for if for next weekend when I bring it on the road and the mk2 taking its place in the garage
