Maybe, though I don't think that a Tdi needs any extra cooling... in fact they are usually over-cooled already anyway.

Get them to qualify their claims. If the core is the same shape, size, and thickness of a stock one then how can it be more efficient?

Cos it's made of aluminium.

To be fair you can get the a standard spec replacement rad for about the same price.

Really. Last 300 Tdi rad I saw had a copper core......well what was left of it!

Mine is a TD5 which might explain things.

Where would you put the oil cooler though?

Got my rad this morning from that ebay site you mentioned.

It's the dogs bollocks and came next day at 0900 hrs, cant say fairer than that.

Anyway it's on now and looks bloody great, it also has a brass bleed stopper on top instead of the silly plastic one, you get the brass one off with an allen key.

Everything fit and it keeps the engine well cool as it should do, cost me 103 pounds delivered.

Sorted.
