    Alloy radiator

    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.

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