Radiator for 200TDI?

SpaceDawg · Jan 25, 2016

Hi Folks,

My 200TDI loses water, not a lot, just a little so I have to top up the header tank. I can see a wet spot on the radiator and its quite rusty at the bottom. So I'm thinking I'll replace it.

Does anyone have any suggestions, I have seen some for £63 on fleabay, but I'm not sure if they are any good.

Thanks in advance.

Get your rad re-cored, you know it fits, they'll put new unions on and it'll work ...
Top and bottoms heads if they need it ... it's got to be worth an ask ...

I went for the £63 one... 5 years later its falling apart and it hasn't even seen off road...

I bought mine from Paddocks, cost me about £79. The reason I went for Paddocks was the shipping charges are low. It fits OK, but its not the same quality as the original one but does the job. I have kept the old one as I thought I might get it reconditioned for next time round. I don't think the Paddocks one will last 25 years.

I got mine recored for about £110.00 last year. I understand the cheap new ones have plastic in them...might be wrong.....I didn't want to risk it

I've heard a lot of the new Chinese made rads don't have baffles in them ... so no flow ...
