I had an early failure of a Nissens and have switched to a cheap all aluminum unit, which is working well for me.
I use nissens brand rad (Danish manufacturer) and so far so good.
I recently replaced the radiator on my MK1 TT. After getting the old, leaky radiator out of the car, I compared it with the new one and was surprised at just how different the core designs were!
I ordered the Nissen Radiator from Rock Auto for around $70 including shipping and ill go from there im planning on fixing it this weekend so ill keep updating
Bought a nissens radiator and also an ebay fan shroud with dual 12 inch fans. The oem fan draws a lot of current snd it burned out the plug so I decided to change out. The shroud fits right over the core.
I imagine, if done right it could be stronger than original. But unless it's a really good radiator, I'd replace it with one of those $70 nissens.
Best one to get is the Nissens 68001A. I just put one in my 2000 9-5. For some reason Rock Auto only lists it as fitting 2001 but it will fit a 1999-2001.
Im going to be replacing my radiator soon with all coolant connection and hoses, does anyone know the difference between the radiator std and heavy duty one? STD: Nissens #652011 Heavy duty: Nissens #65011
The Nissens number is 65264 which is what I eventually ordered.
I was able to shove a cabriolet (nissesns brand) in there...it's stuffed all the way to the left. anyway, it keeps the 1.8t cool without any issues
