Alloy radiator

[Tutuur]

does someone have experience with the ebay alloy radiator?
my radiator started pissing yesterday so am in need of a new one.

original new one costs me around 110 euro's and alloy one 185, is it worth the additional cost?

cheers,
Arthur

Hi Arthur, I have not used one but this has been discussed a few times. If you search the boards I think you will find the quality of these cheap ebay alloy rads is meant to be quite poor especially the welding. Most people would recommend a new standard replacement rad over these. Personally I have a copper rad but these seem to be frowned upon as well.

had a search but the opinions seem to differ and topic are pretty old. maybe some more experiences with them atm?

An r5 diesel rad and separate oil cooler is cheap and effective. save your cash.:agree:
