Engine radiator VALEO 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.

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

I installed an aftermarket Nissens rad and the operating temperature dropped by 2⁰C, also great fitment and price wasn't too bad either

I was recommended Nissens as a OEM quality radiator replacement. No issues so far in 30K miles with lots and lots of hard driving, drifting and 1 track training day on top of dailying it come rain or shine.

Nissens is ok

I was using Valeo radiator for 1-2 years, then it blew hole right under the hose connector.

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.
