Engine radiator VALEO or KOYORAD

I put mine in about 6 months ago. Been great!

I replaced my radiator several times, always due to corrosion at the bottom edge where brine accumulates. Last time I replaced it for Valeo and for sure it had same design as your "new", which is a stamped aluminium sheets stuck on cylindrical piping. So far so good.

Koyo forever! I've run them on both my is300s and my jz swapped s13

Koyorad makes a good radiator, a little expensive but worth it

Super happy with my koyorad. I bought the manual version and kept my trans cooler from when I bypassed the stock one.

I've had a koyorad in mine for almost 4 years now, zero issues. Granted I've got a manual so the only thing running through mine is coolant.

Worked well on my Valeo radiator, let it soak 10 min and a lot of very brown water came out. No leaks, cools better.

The only ones that seem to be made better are the Valeo's, there's a reason they cost more. I looked at mine, it has (relatively large) tubes inside not stamped channels.

I bought the Valeo rad for my 03 GTi from Rockauto for $89. It appears to be exactly the same as stock.

Valeo 3 row radiator is what i use and it works great
