GTI Radiator - DeeTurbo - 17-05-2016
Hi,
What sort of prices would you pay for a radiator?
I've seen a Nissens rad for £150 is that how much they go for?
RE: GTI Radiator - Toms306 - 17-05-2016
Have you checked which lower rad hose you've got? One of the rads is cheaper than the other but I can't remember which now, helpful I know!
RE: GTI Radiator - DeeTurbo - 17-05-2016
Yep, it's the one with the wire clip.
RE: GTI Radiator - miles - 17-05-2016
I'd get a new lower hose as well, allot rust and the seals go hard, Rads I would say thats allot but not bought one for a while

Yeah that's what I thought.
RE: GTI Radiator - Niall - 18-05-2016
I paid a shade over 100 for my nissens from GSF
RE: GTI Radiator - DeeTurbo - 18-05-2016
£197.89 from GSF, 40% off today today but no ones got one in stock.
RE: GTI Radiator - Toms306 - 18-05-2016
Why are they so expensive now? We're all expensive when we we were looking for one for rowells Rallye a few months back as well.
RE: GTI Radiator - DeeTurbo - 18-05-2016
I've found ones for the 2.0 16v cheap (£30) but they don't have the third connection that are on the back of the expansion part.
RE: GTI Radiator - DeeTurbo - 21-05-2016
Does anyone know if any other cars share the same rad as this?

Sourced a rad local to me. I thought the said it was a Nissens but it's turned out to be an NRF.
It has a copper core so that should help with the heat dissipation.
The black paint coating on the core isn't great and you can see the copper in a few places. I'm worried these exposed copper areas will start corroding.
Is it worth going over the rad with the VHT paint?
RE: GTI Radiator - DeeTurbo - 22-05-2016
After reading the stuff in the link below I think I might return the copper rad and go for an ally one.
Very interesting read.

Thanks but I bought and fitted the one off Miles.
Thanks to Miles for fast delivery and the rad was like new.
I've also found one for a good price £80 here http://www.adrad.co.uk/prices/prices.php?id=PE436&model=306&make=PEUGEOT
Their after market one is a Nissens and the OE is £160!
I found them by random when I came across blog http://www.pugaddicts.co.uk/2012/11/peugeot-gti6-new-radiator-fitting.html
Out of the now massive stock pile of parts I've now got the rad is the only thing I've fitted so far.
RE: GTI Radiator - C2K - 12-06-2016
That's good then.
RE: GTI Radiator - roland rat - 12-06-2016
I've got a Nissens one inc bottom hose for sale for 60 posted
