I ordered the Nissen Radiator from Rock Auto for around $70 including shipping and ill go from there im planning on fixing it this weekend so ill keep updating
I've been running a Mishimoto in the racecar for 3 years now with 0 issues and their lifetime warranty including damage during use is hard to beat.
Car came with a mishimoto radiator with the shroud and fans. The car handles Texas heat pretty well during autox events.
I highly recommend Mishimoto, I've had it on mine for a couple years, never overheated or issues with anything. Plus great warranty!
i bought a mishimoto. Everything's fine, adequate stock replacement with a stock fitment.
I bought the Mishimoto one about 20k miles ago and have had zero issues with overheating or leakage.
Bought a nissens radiator and also an ebay fan shroud with dual 12 inch fans. The oem fan draws a lot of current snd it burned out the plug so I decided to change out. The shroud fits right over the core.
when installing it with the OEM rubber hangers, I had to persuade the radiator into place with some lag bolts. It definitely doesn't go in like the stock one; looks like the end tanks on the Mishimoto unit hit in several places, preventing it from seating exactly where the original goes.
2012 Golf R (FSI) and just recently had a Mishimoto radiator installed. Car behaves normally on the road but the first track event after having it installed it got very warm (about halfway between normal and red zone on factory gauge) and actually spit out some coolant under the hood I found once back in the paddock. Shop has checked everything out, re-bled the system and found no air but does start to get hot under sustained boost. Funny thing is I track the car heavily and never had this issue on the OEM radiator, also the water pump was recently changed with timing service and has less than 1000 miles on it.
especially NOT a mishimoto. that shit is junk and i speak from experience.
