Be carefull with running the diesel rad you could end up overcooling it.

Call Vee W Services in Bristol, if you're only *just* into Wales - £10 says they'll be able to get you the 16V unit.

Danny, your car used to get *quite* hot IIRC  :tongue:

think that may have been more due to the thermostat, as it developed when the new bigger rad was fitted the fecking thing tryed to boil.   you wont overcool it with the diesel rad  thats what the thermostat is for
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
