Thread: Radiator Question

I was just browsing ebay today as I am buying some parts.

There is now available an alloy D1 radiator with plastic end tanks for $700.

Alloy radiators are usually more efficient than the old brass copper.

If you are interested and cannot find the seller ,PM me and I will give you the name. I deal with him often and find him great to deal with and he has an ebay shop and is a member here.

If the moderators don't object I can post the name so mods its up to you.
Regards Philip A

my '95 300TDi 380 manual has no gearbox cooler lines
the engine heat exchanger lines goes into the radiator .

I thought he may know what he was talking about, he quoted around $800 or so for a recore.
G'day Frank, I'm hanging to get out, need to get thi radiator sorted first though.

Is that with you taking it out and refitting it? Or taking the car to him and him doing the lot?

Seems a bit pricey.

I got quoted $280 to have the tanks taken off mine and rodding out the channels to clean them. My core is in pretty good condition so doent need replacing. Is the core in yours buggered or just blocked up?

Hi guys, I think this guy is dear too, Ace, that price is with me taking it out and refitting. By the way, I had mine rodded about 3 years ago for $50 mates rates, should have been $100. Most places have quoted $650 - $750 for anew radiator. Also I have noticed that diesel rads are usually a lot cheaper.
