Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or OEM BMW

For a good external oil cooler setup, check out www.tdnparts.com I'll be going that route along with a mishimoto aluminum radiator this winter.

i have a mishimoto radiator and it works just fine :thumbup:

That tool is a god send! Unrelated, but burping a radiator sucks too.

I'm planning on spending $710~ on a Mishimoto FULLY sealed radiator (no stupid plastic side tanks).

The radiator does cool the DSG so I feel the Mishimoto radiator was definitely worth it.

So, I have the Mishimoto rado, which I bought for my Mk3 but now I'm transplanting it all into my Mk2. That's why I'm asking.

How do you like the Mishimoto rad?

been using the conditioner for years without issue, although it didn't prevent my HG's from leaking eventually.

Wouldn’t recommend mishimoto, the warranty is nice but some of them tend to be leaky (haven’t just read that online, have seen multiple leak firsthand).

I bought a Mishimoto upgraded radiator. As far as I could find at the time, the only major concern about the Mishimoto radiator was that they had a penchant for leaking at the quick-connects machined into the inlet and outlet.
