Engine radiator VALEO or MISHIMOTO

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.

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

I'd buy a Valeo, but Valeo doesn't have a part number for the later Cabriolets and their catalog lists incorrect sizes. I bought my radiator locally, but I needed it ASAP and they happened to have a Valeo in stock

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.

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

Mishimoto radiators aren’t the best. IIRC, a lot of their stuff comes the same factory as a lot of eBay brands.

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).
