Second radiator? whats is it?

Post by widdowson2008 » Mon Jul 27, 2009 4:28 pm

Got my new toy (multimeter) this morning and went outside to play.
Whilst checking the battery voltage to compare with recent post from Haydn, I noticed a second radiator located in front of the main coolant rad. It's the same size as the coolant rad but what is it? and what does it do?

Air conditioning radiator.

While checking this just to make sure I solved another identification problem. I have a mysterious powered box behind the radiator grille. Suddenly realised it is a front parking sensor of the aftermarket type. Now I have to find a wall and drive really close and see if anything bleeps.

Thanks NFT - mystery solved.
Sometimes not a good idea to look too closely isn't it. No telling what 'mysterious' gadgetry you will find.
