UR Auxiliary Radiator

Andy b1 (WR) · 03-03-14, 11:44 PM

Had a nice run out today in the Ur!

That was until the auxiliary radiator decided to let go and p~ss coolant everywhere.
At least two or three leaks when hot, once under pressure.

Thought I could smell something sweet whilst driving.

What's the chance of getting a descent replacement? NLA or what's the best way to go, do not want to remove completely as want to keep original.

Andy, a re-core is about £90

As Darren says, about £90, I have one in need of a re-core myself but managed to find a decent second-hand one for £20 on the bay

I've got one spare but the reason it was removed from my car was because it is in need of a recore too!

Thanks Darron and gents!

Sounds like a re-core is the answer.

Will anywhere that does radiators do? or does anyone know of a good place near Warrington or North West ish.

Thanks Andy

For you - B3/B4 10v NA - new aux rad costs about the same, or even less. S2 one costs about twice as that, I have no idea how does look UR aux rad.

Just leave it off unless you living in the Aussie outback. Plenty running without it including mine though have got a Ali rad instead

I want to keep it original so will get a re-core done at some time.
These engines seem to get hot pretty quick so extra cooling can only help.

Just a quick update.

For now K seal has done the job until I can get a re-core.
