Engine radiator OEM Volkswagen or Nissens

Wedged the GTI's radiator in. I was pretty worried about the Nissen OE equivalent I bought on FCP euro being enough for the VR6.

In the year I’ve had it, it’s cost me a new radiator that had split.

i am dealing with radiator business in Turkey, and all i can say is Nissens is good brand. And fins will be okay, i cant see any major damage, but need to make sure check for the leak.

That’s exactly where my OEM radiator started leaking, luckily it was very visible, I strongly recommend changing the radiator, I got Nissens and it’s been working great so far it came highly recommended by my mechanic

I put a nissens radiator off Amazon in mine 3 years and 80,000 kilometers ago and its held up. Multiple cross country trips with it.

Nissen OEM style replacement is good

Nissens is ok

If you can\u2019t afford the OE Modine radiator, get a Nissens one from FCPEURO with BMW hoses (NOT Rein which are absolute junk). Stay far away from Mahle radiators which are also junk and not worth your time.

The ~2014 Nissens, with the 15 round tube design just doesn't cut it. From what I can tell the car would've come with the 30 flat tube design. The Nissens just doesn't have enough surface area. On a hot day, with the AC going and highway speeds it just couldn't keep up.

my car's radiator is $200 for an underperforming Nissens radiator.
