So after ordering a radiator in March I was told it would be despatched before April, then mid April, then late April, then definitely May 4th and now it's going to be a further 6-8 weeks, absolute joke. I was really hoping the service would be good after all the hype but they just can't deliver.
Does anyone else produce an uprated Radiator for the TD5 that can actually make one rather than constant excuses.

I have a Fenix radiator in my TDi, they make them for TD5s as well. About $300 and I had it in two days. They are a New Zealand company but with that price I would guess it is made somewhere else, but is good quality.

PWR I'm sure make one.
They make their own cores here too, better than anything that comes out of the UK.

Just to be clear its ******** as my thread title was changed. I have all the emails with there excuses so in no way am I being slanderous, if I cant warn other people about shocking service from a particular supplier its a sorry state of affairs.

I too got a full alloy radiator from Fenix. I fitted it to my previous 110 300tdi. It arrived next day, looked great and did a good job of keeping the engine cool. I was very impressed. From memory it was $280 delivered.

Factory radiators do a great job up to 200kw, in the heat of summer, towing...
Why people insist on "upgrading" something more than suited to the task - usually at large expense - has my puzzled.
A factory radiator is a couple of hundred dollars and with proper servicing (which they all need) will go 10+ years without failure.

Wouldn't the factory radiator be dearer than a performance replacement one though? And any added cooling can't be bad.Originally Posted by Tombie

SubscriberThe thing I always ask myself is "Do I know more than the collective 100 engineers that designed this automotive system (at the expense of millions of dollars, and years of )???"
OE is the only way to fly for some components. Other's (puma turbo hose, lol) are probably better aftermarket!
Radiators for example work on pressure differential. You put a 50mm core on a radiator and it's 3 times more resistance to airflow actually going thru the core and dissipating engine heat.
