420R Radiator Woes - Solutions?


Handwheels

Recommended Posts

Well, hopefully the softer hose is enough to preserve my radiator. The first one only lasted about 3k miles and maybe 10 trackdays. Mind you the leak was miniscule, but I changed it out as soon as I noticed it. Current one has about 1000miles and 4 days on it. Time will tell.

It’s an SV but that makes no difference.

That's correct.  This is the layout in my 2008 S3:

The rad and top hose are the same as ScottR400D's.  This is how the set-up was designed originally, with little or no stress on the rad.
