Thorin Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is yours an auto? The auto's rad has a built in box cooler so you would need a separate one if fitting an after-market rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Should have bought a stock rad, IMO the cores in the stock one are better than most aftermarket ones, zero fitment issues, and available with the correct auto transmission cooler built in. They are now available at competitive prices, with no exchange unit to worry about. Adding a separate cooler means somewhere to mount it without blocking air to the rad and a/c condenser, extra pipe and fittings and extra expense. If something in this new set up fails, due to leaks or stone damage, by by gearbox. There's a lot to be said for a great deal of the stock set up.

pa06has Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 oh rite!! what price can you do on stock rads?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 If you were to mount a separate cooler somewhere though, then the passenger side intake under the indicator would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yes the stock rad includes the cooler for the auto transmission. http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/7056/picture2wa2.png HKS do an Auto Cool Kit price would be around £185. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
