Engine radiator OEM Volkswagen or Denso

Just swapped my OEM at 313k for a Denso, so far so good. Fit very snug, almost thought it wouldn’t fit, so that’s good for surface area at least!

Didn\u2019t take many pics but I installed a new thermostat, radiator, upper and lower hoses today.

I got a Denso for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L V8 and it has been fantastic, great quality and in good shape upon delivery. Vehicle ran 5-7°F cooler than before the radiator leak that initiated the replacement

I recently replaced the radiator on my 2002 Toyota 4Runner and used a Denso replacement part. It looks identical to the original.

I'd stick with a new Denso if you want to replace yours.

i used a denso radiator on a benz gle43. Worked out pretty well. I mean they are an oem supplier for many manufacturers.

Denso and other OEM for me. When insurance wanted to throw Napa parts at my radiator replacement destroyed by a napping squirrel in the fan assy, I ponied up the difference to go with the Denso and mechanic confirmed it was a solid choice.

Aisin water pump, Mitsuboshi or Bando belts, and replace the radiator as a preventative measure with a Denso unit.

Right now I've got a 2015 Polo GTI 7 speed. It's got about 100,000ks, I'm the second owner. In the year or so since I've had it, apart from normal things like brake pads, I've replaced: Radiator

Be careful with the early MK8s. Mine is a 2022 and boy howdy she's got issues. Shift knob broke, steering wheel capacitor issues that disable travel assist repeatedly, backup camera failure and others say they have issues with the radiator failing to be fully seated on its clips and causing big problems.
