MK1 Radiator

[Bill]

Hello, Can anyone tell me where to get a 1980 GLI Radiator from, just spent 50 mins at GSF and came away with the wrong one Cheers Bill

Big boys toys stock loads. Have you got a part number? I've got the catalogue here

[Bill]

171 121 253 G on the top of the rad, but can only find 253 F on the interwed,

I have had a look on ETKA for you mate, doesnt look like VW stock them anymore :(

[PeteGLi]

It is still available from Volkswagen Classic Parts in Germany - but the cost is 163.86 euros !!!!!!

[Bill]

Might just give it a flush and see how it goes.

Have you got a top fill radiator or does yours have an expansion tank on the driver's suspension turret?

A 525mm core should fit, although I think the original radiator is slightly smaller.

[Bill]

Top fill, and got feet, not pins on the bottom. just trying to justify spending the money. (BEER/RAD BEER/RAD)
