Velocity Radiator
Cubby - 26/2/07 at 02:18 PM

Hi opened my luego (pre Dean) radiator over the weekend . Quality of the rad is very poor looks a complete mess . Any one know a good place to pick up a new one from at a reasonable cost ?

What models fit the velocity ??

I'm using a 2litre zetec black top .

Boston Radiators

They do a high performance one for the MK2 escort with cools a 2ltr engine just fine on track days and fits straight in.
About £40-50 exchange I think....
Give them a ring
01775722824

It made such a difference when I upgraded from the std Luego item

I beleive that the Velocity uses the MK2 Escort rad. I've fitted a Capri one to mine(same as Escort but with different mounting brackets) works fine with the 1.8 Zetec I have fitted.

I used the following ebay shop for a Volvo one to fit in my Viento - seems OK - and price was cheap.

Polo (or even a MK2 Golf if it'll fit) seems to be what most people use... seem to be capable of cooling some big power stuff.

Cheers,

i was going to use an uprated mk2 escort
went to see a mate ( who owns colchester radiators )
and he gave me a 4 row mini rad
nice and small and he says they have chucked it at every thing and never had a problem!

tried it on my bec and had no probs
so putting it on a zetec
