Thread: New TD5 radiator???? (Aluminium or stock)

Sure if you have to replace it get an Ali one, after all they are Moore repairable in the bush than the plastic tank OEM rad. But as far as 'performance' goes I can't see it making any difference to a Td5. I have found the OEM rad cools adequately even in very hot conditions and if properly maintained. Maybe the Puma one was under capacity, which is why people have changed them out early, I don't know.

Puma Radiators and Intercoolers are the same as TD5's.

Yes but the engines are not. It's the mating between the two that will dictate weather the rad is upto the task. Just saying that on a TD5 the OEM is adequate, don't know about the Puma - I don't own one and this thread is not about them.
