cdg Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 I agree. As used on F3, F Renault, F Vauxhall, and my Mallock! Must be allright then. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL FLY Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 I take it that Polo rads are only good for w*******ds and won't fit a Caterham or am I wrong. What sort of BHP would it cope with ?

Paul Turner Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 The rad on the Mallock I owned briefly was off a Golf and had an alloy core and plastic ends (technical term). Very light but I very much doubt it would have fitted a Caterham. The car had been fitted with a 280hp BDG and the rad was at the back so I guess they are pretty efficient. I got a special made for my car using a "high efficiency" copper core (sales speak) and copper ends that were reduced in size compared to the alloy Caterham one that leaked like a sieve and no one would repair (even Caterham). When both rads are full of water they are exactly the same weight. Cost less than a Caterham copper replacement as well (a great deal less than the alloy one). Most towns have a specialist, try yellow pages. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
