B2 CQ radiator refurbishment

andya · 14-01-17, 09:34 PM

My cq's rad has developed a small leak these last few weeks, I had a spare, so today I swapped it over. Unfortunately the replacement is a secondhand aftermarket much inferior rad - it also didn't quite fit quite as well as the original one I took out and needed a fair bit of adapting to get it in ( and a fair bit of swearing!)

My priority is to get the one I took out refurbed, and get it back on asap. What kind of prices should I expect to pay?

Thanks in advance
Andy

Last one I had done was about the £100 mark.

Mine was shot so had to buy a new one (not genuine Audi.. can find out how much it cost if you like. I went to Newquay radiators.

It's alright Jake, the rads already in the boot - there's a couple of places to try on Monday. Thanks anyway....
