Which radiator to buy ??

Hi folks,

For no reason I am replacing the cooling system on my gti, I have ordered the thermostat and o ring, samco coolant hoses and clips, expansion tank and small bore hose, refurbed cowling from CQ but I am stuck on which radiator to buy.

Can you help me choose between the 3 links below please.

First one cheap and cheerful
Second one middle the road
Third one and my choice expensive aluminium rad.

made by hella, have one in my abf mk2 and its spot on. alu rads way overkill

Thanks Rub

I had looked at your one and unfortunately I just bought the alu rad last night, I knew it was overkill but I couldnt get anyone to tell me so.

Thanks for your input, my wife would have liked it last night so she could have spent the extra money on a dress  

Cheers Chris

ah well. alloy rad will outlast a dress for the wife at least

Rub

I will have the rad after the car goes to the crusher    and my third wife  :wink:

I have just posted where is the best place to get rotor arm and dist cap for my GTI, do you know where rather than all the ebay stuff ??
