Engine radiator OEM Volkswagen or OEM Toyota

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

Bout to hit 300k tomorrow on my 2012 and I’ll I’ve ever replaced is the radiator and a transmission sensor. All the pulleys are oem

No, the best radiator is Toyota OEM it can last over 25 years.

Didn\u2019t take many pics but I installed a new thermostat, radiator, upper and lower hoses today.

Another vehicle the rad got low and the stream pretty much melted the top where it connected to the hose. New rad was on backorder and I needed a car so I cut the melted but off at a clean angle and attached a chunk of ABS pipe using high-temp JB weld which I reattached the hose too after it set. I regularly checked it over the next 1-2 weeks until the shop got a new rad in and had no issues.

I used a like new radiator I had from my 16v post going aluminum rad and fans on that car. so new fan, cleaned up the wiring and put a better looking relay in and tested it.

Right now I've got a 2015 Polo GTI 7 speed. It's got about 100,000ks, I'm the second owner. In the year or so since I've had it, apart from normal things like brake pads, I've replaced: Radiator

Shortly after owning it I had to replace radiator, Dan shroud. Then my power steering rack and CV died. Just recently my master break cylinder just died

I got done years ago for a polished aluminium radiator in a 1985 4th gen Celica.

My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.
