Engine radiator VALEO or Nissens

Pretty sure oem is mahle but nissens are good for sure

Nissens rads are very good tbh, better than OEM,

My NA 1.4 OE failed (long time ago) because of aluminium tubing corrosion (brine). So replacement Valeo got paint treatment . So far 100k km without problems.

I've recently replaced my original oem one with Nissens, no issues so far, works perfectly. it was a super easy install and no issues so far.

I got a Nissens radiator in mine after it had to be replaced last year, and it’s been serving me very very well

The Nissens are inexpensive and mine has been trouble free for ten years.

I put a Nissens in my 1992 325i cabrio and it fit perfectly. It’s been in there for seven years now and all is great. My car was an automatic when I bought the radiator. I later had the car swapped to manual and plugged off the transmission cooler ports on the radiator.

just replaced one and aside from slight issues with the drain plug alignment that needed some finessing, seemed fine and held pressure.

Nissens lasted the longest for me. I was only getting about 2 years out of Behr's.

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