Rob Thomson 6 Posted April 25, 2007 The cooling seems a bit marginal on my 1.6, so thought I'd treat it to a new thermostat and radiator. There's a GSF in Cheltenham and they do rads for about £40, which sounds pretty good to me. But are they any good? Do they fit properly? Also, I assume 1.9 and 1.6 rads are all the same? Thanks.

Yes, they are fine - well the couple I've had have been Ordonez (sp?) I think this is OE in some cases? The 1.6 & 1.9 are the same..... Trev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted April 25, 2007 no problems with the GSF one i've used daily for the last 18months it's for sale actually (if you're interested in saving some money) - £15? i could even throw a thermostat in too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted April 25, 2007 the one I bought was a NISSENS one cheaper than ebay too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1227 1 Posted April 25, 2007 My GSF one I got brand new a year or so ago was dented when I got it out of the packaging, so check before you leave the store! Lots of bent fins otherwise fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim.Badger 15 Posted April 25, 2007 I've got a GSF aluminium one, absolutely fine. Mine was made by Valeo so maybe they have a few suppliers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisG 0 Posted April 25, 2007 i've never had any problems with anything from GSF, think it should be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John_B 11 Posted April 25, 2007 Mine was a Nissens. It still looks fine after 3ish years, certainly a hell of a lot better than the GSF driving lights I bought less than a year ago which are covered in rust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Mine was a Nissens. It still looks fine after 3ish years, certainly a hell of a lot better than the GSF driving lights I bought less than a year ago which are covered in rust at least you didnt spunk £50 each on exactly the same units at the dealer oddly mine are still good and I bought mine 3 years ago!

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 25, 2007 I think there latest stock of rads is the fine finned normal metal type which are OK just not as good as the ones above, Might be worth trying ECP and saying you want a Nissens one The Denji lights are cr*p, a set I fitted to a car 5 months ago have rusty frames already, My CTI uses OE ones and have only just started to show after 6 yr's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
