Not sure if the 730mm would fit though.

Awesome info there, you wouldnt be able to put a model to a measure would you!? I'll get a measurement in height and depth etc and ring round!

Nope! Except to say, bigger rads are used in :turbo diesel; Passats; auto; air con. But you could take a tape measure to a scrappy?
Another rad to consider is the Corsa Turbo Diesel. Its wider but also not too deep (tall). Most car radiators (for example VR6) are a standard height which is a big bigger than the Mk1 Golf's.

Whats wrong with the 16v radiator, this is a common choice for the engine swap, holes on the left etc, it fits like a glove in mine with a slimline fan and theres hardly any pipework to make up!

except he did ask about upgrades!

I have 3 rads in my garage and have been doing some research into this hopefully it will be some use:
Rad 1: 16V rad, this seems to be 430mm core size inlet and outlet on the right.
Rad 2: G60 rad, this is also 430mm with the inlet and outlet on the left.
Rad 3, Standard mk1 rad 525mm inlet and outlet on the right again.
Finally on searching the net iv found that there is the rad for a VR corrado that is a 630mm core, this one is by far the biggest however possibly to big for a mk1 well a 20VT'ed one anyway as there will be no way of getting the intercooler pipewok between the edge of the rad and NS front light.
Also i saw a 20VT mk1 at VW festival with a twin fan rad from a mk4 polo, looked really neat and the fans were very slimline i need to track this guy down find out what core size it was..
Thing i dont understand is how on earth can a smaller rad be better for cooling???
Hope this will give you some options of rads that fit at least.
Cheers Mark
