can someone please tell me why all the radiators for the 1.3 1.4 1.6 are all the same size i went to buy one and was told gsi are bigger but they are all the same. turbo deisel and diesel ones are the same. is the one they have listed as the 1.3 actually the bigger one and they discontinued making the small one.

i know nothing :?

i appear to have a smaller rad, it was in a 1.2 antibies D plate.


i intend on keeping it, as its smaller, so it will hold less water and weigh less lol

^^ excellent i have already got rid of my heater matrix, getting rid of some of the water out of the cooling system. Might just have to get on of those save alittle more weight. :D

easiest way to tell is to look at the bottom of the rad

the smaller one is on 2-3" stilts off the crossmember

the larger one goes right down to the crossmember

I found the biggest rads are in 4-door novas, try the scrappy for one!
