The polo Radiator
thepest - 10/11/09 at 11:16 AM

Hey Guys, since alot of people have fitted this rad in their locosts / 7's and were successful, can anyone tell me which one it is? IE from what year, perhaps links, photos ebay??

I'd like to do the same. I have a standard escort one and I'd like more cooling for trackdays (5 laps & engine gets to 100deg)

Thanks

Yeah, there is a range of sizes for both the golf and polo, as well as thicknesses.

People seem to pick and choose, but site typicaly have fairly good data on the rad size and hole postions.

See http://www.discount-cooling.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN_Radiators.html

VW2038 (polo rad)
VW2028 (golf rad).

core dimensions are:-
VW2028 - 430mm -320mm -34mm
VW2038 - 380mm -320mm -34mm
