Zetec Radiator
nnrouty - 18/8/10 at 06:00 PM

Just a quick question.

Im look for a suitable radiator for my project which i am planning to use a zetec 1.8/2.0l engine.

The haynes roadster book says you can use a clio, polo or micra radiator.

Has anyone used one of these with a zetec?

Or can anyone recommend a radiator?

I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of people use the Polo radiator with no problems...

ive also got the polo rad, just make sure you get the right one or it may not fit.

If memory serves Nothern Radiators part no VW302 is what you need.

You could probably get away with the approx' 40mm wider Golf rad in your 50mm(IIRC) wider Roadster if you wanted the extra cooling capacity.
