Engine radiator OEM Volkswagen or Nissens

I installed an aftermarket Nissens rad and the operating temperature dropped by 2⁰C, also great fitment and price wasn't too bad either

I was recommended Nissens as a OEM quality radiator replacement. No issues so far in 30K miles with lots and lots of hard driving, drifting and 1 track training day on top of dailying it come rain or shine.

Bought a Nissens like I should have in the first place and all was well.

I am running a nissen radiator, no issues 4 years in.

My Nissens radiator has one just like this. Honestly, these are much better because you don’t need a tool to remove it.

I have a Nissens radiator that’s been solid

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

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

I bought a Nissens radiator because it was the highest rated one for my car. Everything went so smooth initially. Bled the system, pressure tested it, drove it for 20 minutes, and it ran beautifully. Checked for leaks, nothing. Then, the moment I drive off the lot, my low coolant light comes on and coolant was pouring out the bottom of the car. I got a (2E83) *Electric coolant pump, reduced power operation* error. The car never overheated or went into limp mode.

My NISSEN didn't last 2 years before it failed catastrophically on the plastic side tanks.
