#4: Re: Radiator gone PUFF Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 5:09 pm ---- i don't think the fitment is the same?
1.1,1.4and 1.6 has smaller radiator.
if you don't have anti-freezer in your coolant, you might crack the cylinder head as well

#6: Re: Radiator gone PUFF Author: bellevuespares, Location: ManchesterPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 5:24 pm ---- DEFFO will not fit.....
#7: Re: Radiator gone PUFF Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:29 pm ---- ebay mate. as said above put antifreeze in it next time if you did then thats a different story
#8: Re: Radiator gone PUFF Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:49 pm ---- i have one you can have cheap. also have the aircon rad too if needed
#9: Re: Radiator gone PUFF Author: LilLew, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Dec 20, 2010 2:03 am ---- well i know i had lots of antifreeze in my water because i have an antifreeze level tester and its results where -25c and when i tested my dadas car his was only -15c i am gonna take her apart today in the snow lol

#13: Re: Radiator gone PUFF Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 6:14 am ---- The hose with the clip should seal themselves.
