Polo radiator question
Hi all,
trying to get the cooling system sorted - have gone for a polo rad. Does anyone know which fan thermostat (if tha's what it is!) goes in the
large hole in the back of the rad??

That's a thermal switch for the fan isn't it?
Cheers,
Raz
When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

They're also used in Sierras. I got an 82 degree one from a Cossie.

yep and as Ned says, GM too. Astra, cavalier, calibra etc etc the choice is yours.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Got one!
Thanks for the advice - the M22 by 1.5 is right - went to the motor factors to pick up the hoses I'd ordered earlier, and picked one out of the
catalogue - the M22 by 1.5 is used in a vast array of cars - so as per the advice I picked the temp I wanted and got one from stock - think its an
Opel one as fitted to lots of Atras - also picked one with exposed terminals so if any soldering is needed it will be easier...
Thanks for all the help!
Chris
