Owner reviews for engine radiator

just replaced one and aside from slight issues with the drain plug alignment that needed some finessing, seemed fine and held pressure.

Der B8 von meinem Vater hat auch überhaupt keine Kühlprobleme - auch bei Anhängebetrieb von 1,3t (laut Audi ist eigentlich ein größerer Kühler nötig, haben aber festgestellt, dass der Stock Kühler einwandfrei das Fahrzeug runterkühlt

I would recommend the koyo radiator with stock fans. It’s been 3 years with mine zero issues it’ll run cool in 120 desert.

I would recommend a full aluminum koyo radiator. There are pricy but they fit like OEM and use the OEM fans. 2 years later with 15k and no issues.

Replaced OEM with a mishi, Fitment is good part reason I went with it was I replaced the fans with mishimoto fans and it all slid in nicely

Koyo has better fitment than Mishimoto tho, I think that's more important as they both have good warranty. One thing to note is the only radiator Koyo has for the DE that is OEM design is the larger one, the smaller one it the cross flow, which is better performance wise but puts the radiator cap on the passenger side. That's the one I currently have.

I had a Ford with a bad radiator. The trans fluid mixed with the coolant. A new radiator and trans filter/fluid I was good to go.

Mishimoto, despite it being overpriced, does not have plastic parts.

I did replace one with oem and fail in less than a month denso brand

The Mishimoto all aluminum radiator (2 core) started leaking this past January (86k miles) in the top left corner (if you are facing the grill). From what I can tell with reviews, I was lucky to get 18k miles on that radiator.
