Does anyone know what the best radiator for 2.0 16v is? Ive been told its the one from the Turbo Diesel but I dont know how true that is. Need to keep my engine as cool as possible!!!

td one don't fit... pipes exit in the wrong place....

you don't wanna keep the engine cool you want to keep it at operating temp.....

a BRAND NEW valeo gsi rad will do the job fine

I wanna keep it cool cause its running really hot all the time. Ive gotta put the oil cooling on it still aswell. How much is a GSi one and wheres the best place to get one?

if it's running too hot then the rad is proably old or a crappy pattern one

To Be honest I aint got a clue which one it is cause a butch of cowboys called Just Novas for Long Eaton put the radiator in for my 1.6 but knowing the amount of bodging they done to my car its most probably off a 1.0. Its taking ages to correct the work they didnt do or bodged! But im slowly getting there!

selling dodgy goods saying there tested and fine
borowing brand new alloys off cars u send in to have work done to see if they fit on other cars.
saying they are getting something in when there not so u keep waisting your time.
apart from that they have sold me some good stuff at good prices
