Hello,
i'm doing some works on Sylva of my friend... we want change radiator with new one, but i don't know from what donor car come from..
can you help me please?








Thanks

Looks like a mk1/mk2 escort to me, with the filler cap welded up:

The more popular(cheaper) ones to use now are 80/90s 1.0 Polo rads, but these have both feeds on the left, so will need some replumbing if you went down this route.

Think it's the same one I have for sale here,

I am sure they are fiesta welded up,

Thanks

Sean

My recollection of fiesta rads are alot wider (certainly the mk1/mk2s anyway)

thanks for input!

escort radiator is very expensive

installing a polo radiator like my megabusa is a good way.. but i need to spoke with my friend.
Polo's radiator is thinner of escort radiator.. it isn't a problem?



@indy bird
thanks for your offer, look like perfect, but i think he prefer new one..

I swapped my old escort rad for a polo one many years ago in my Striker and it's worked better since

It's important though to make sure you duct the air through the rad or it will come in the nose and hit the air resistance from the rad and go around the outside to the engine bay.
