    A/C & Non A/C Radiators

    I was looking at both my radiators one new and one looks newer. Both Rabbits were using A/C but are smaller at 525mm. (24" ) The 570 mm used for A/C cars is only 45mm longer which means maybe 1-2 more coolant tubs and the price. ( German autoparts) Has anyone had problems with the smaller radiator? And not sure what a/c prep car means. Any advice...hate to toss for 45mm.

    Re: A/C & Non A/C Radiators

    If you have or don't have a/c, then the larger radiator is the one to go with. parts4vws.com has them too, and I think cheaper than German. And don't forget the width of the core too, as I think the a/c is a wider core by a 1/4 inch.

    Don't discount Napaonline, nor advanceauto be warned that both of them have the ear mounts and not the pin type that the cabbies use.
