I am here to say the Koyorad fits perfectly fine with Cobb’s charge pipe. The upper radiator hose had to be completely taken out to get the pass side fan installed but no trimming or cutting of fan shroud. The radiator looks amazing as well.
Experienced a full separation of the top (and possibly bottom) plastic from the aluminum portion - would leak about as fast as I could pour it in. Replaced with Koyorad A2807 from RockAuto.com for $104 plus tax and shipping. Nominal time to repair for a non-mechanic is probably 4-to-6 hours - call it a day project.
got a Koyorad off Rock Auto for around $100 and slapped it in there. Runs like a champ. It is a pretty easy job if you're mechanically inclined.
I've had a Koyorad in my 97 for 5 years now and it's been great.
i recently put a koyorad in mine as well, the hoses at the bottom took me forever to work with but it was worth it
I replaced it with a OEM style koyorad I found for $130 and corrected the radiator caps and my temps have been perfect all summer. It is a bitch to burp the coolant so I recommend buying the spill-free funnel.
The Koyorad full aluminum radiator is the one to have. Paired to your Hayden 698 since it doesn’t have a section to cool the trans fluid, however definitely worth it for durability as the next alternative over OEM replacement rad.
Didn\u2019t take many pics but I installed a new thermostat, radiator, upper and lower hoses today.
Right now I've got a 2015 Polo GTI 7 speed. It's got about 100,000ks, I'm the second owner. In the year or so since I've had it, apart from normal things like brake pads, I've replaced: Radiator
I traded my mk8 GTI (early Canadian model) for a mk7.5R recently because my mk8 GTI was so problematic: the rad fell out at speed and left me stranded (this should no longer be an issue on these cars)
