Title: What Rad should i use? abf conversion
Post by: bamfish89 on 09 February 2013, 12:01

hey there im in the middle of converting my mk2 type 19 into an abf. i was going to use the abf rad and fan but that means fabbing up alot of brackets which will take a good while. i was wondering if there is another rad i can use that will just fit and do the job? i have my 1.3 rad and fan but will it be big enuff? or mabye i need a mk2 16v rad? any help would be great thanks guys

I'm using my mk2 8v item with the plugs changed on the abf loom, the core is deeper than the mk3 abf and my abf runs cooler in the mk2 than it did in the mk3... All goes on std mounts to hope that helps

I used a long twin fan one out of a seat Toledo which was my donor car. Went straight in. There's room to accommodate different sizes.
