mishimoto makes a great aluminum replacement at a decent cost.
For a good external oil cooler setup, check out www.tdnparts.com I'll be going that route along with a mishimoto aluminum radiator this winter.
i have a mishimoto radiator and it works just fine :thumbup:
That tool is a god send! Unrelated, but burping a radiator sucks too.
I'm planning on spending $710~ on a Mishimoto FULLY sealed radiator (no stupid plastic side tanks).
The radiator does cool the DSG so I feel the Mishimoto radiator was definitely worth it.
So, I have the Mishimoto rado, which I bought for my Mk3 but now I'm transplanting it all into my Mk2. That's why I'm asking.
How do you like the Mishimoto rad?
been using the conditioner for years without issue, although it didn't prevent my HG's from leaking eventually.
Roughly 12 months ago, I upgraded the radiator on my 2000 Series 8 (~65,000km/40,000mi) to a Koyo R1443N 48mm N-Flow. The coolant seals blew because the radiator's design allowed air to accumulate, creating hot-spots and leading to seal failure. My water temps never exceeded 90C. After a rebuild, a valve was installed on the radiator elbow, making it quicker to bleed the system, and water temps are now around 77C, about 10C cooler than before. The Koyo radiator's design prevented proper bleeding of the coolant system, causing seal failure.
