V6 Petrol - New Radiator needed

Post by fargo » Sat Jun 05, 2010 11:38 am

Hi guys,

The radiator went on my V6 bongo yesterday, but luckily, due to being in slow traffic, we spotted it and the engine did not cook. Now I need to source a new one - can anyone tell me if all bongos have the same radiator or whether the V6 one is different?

Cheers,

Matt.

Check out the Lush projects site, but comparing the V6 with the diesel it looks the same part number there is a different part number for the manual transmission but I guess that's because it doesn't have the oil cooler built in.

The rad on the V6 is the same as the 2.5 diesel.
I've also seen manuals fitted with a rad for an auto (with oil cooler). I guess it depends what was in stock at the time of fitting.

Thank-you for the help guys, invaluable as normal !

I managed to get one on my door step for £150 - from http://www.autojapspares.co.uk

Very good service, and they have lots of bongo bits....
