Title: 16v radiators
Post by Scorpio_Mike on Aug 16^th, 2014, 8:11am

A while back I bought a radiator for my 2.3 16v as I thought I had a leak but the leak was not from the radiator - so I kept it as a spare -'just in case'.
When I bought it, I definitely asked for a rad for an auto - but having looked at it now, it doesn't have the 2 pipe connections on the left hand side for the auto gearbox.
Are there 2 versions of rad for autos - i.e. some have the cooler in the rad and some have the external cooler at the front or have I been given the wrong rad - one for a manual car ?

I reckon it's the wrong rad Mike,all my autos had a rad cooler as well as the air cooled heat exchanger,I have both types of rad,ie manual and auto here,the manual one was for a spare to fit the car I bought from 'Pete Hull' a few years ago and the auto one was for my funeral vehicles.
