Would An Xu Radiator Fit A Tu Engine?

as per title..

Yes but its tight and needs work.

You have very little clearance between the alternator and rad and lose the low coolant sensor.

 

You also need to make a top hose which is a bit of a pain, we only did it to utalise 2 fans but when we built the second car didn't bother as we didn't feel it was of any benefit.

brill thanks jrod

 

do you know what I actually meant was would a rad fan assembly fit? rather than the rad itself.

The TU rad is plenty big enough unless you want to tow a caravan full of hippies up Porlock hill at 9000rpm in first gear. If it's not cooling effectively, there's a problem beyond the rad size.

The TU24 uses a radiator that is probably the same asize s the Gti. You might want to check the part numbers

Christopher, the TU24 rad is identical to the 1.6 XU engine with the auto gearbox, although a friend fitted a 1.6gti rad to a TU24, although he couldn't fit all the sensors to it. Got my 1.6 Auto one from GSF.
