Dart Replacement Radiator
Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2018 3:29 pm
Hi all,
I have had my Dart for 12 years now. At the time I got it it had a blocked (non-standard) radiator & I had to have it re-cored for around £200. It sprung a leak recently & the local re-corers tell me it needs another re-core...this time for £270. Looking through the old forum, someone suggests that a radiator for an Audi 80 or 90 is similar in dimensions & layout so should be a considerably cheaper option. Has anyone tried to follow this advice...& if so which model of Audi has the closest resemblance (radiator-wise)??
Many thanks
Guy
