Clio 182 radiator help needed



  Renault Clio 182 FF
Hi, following on from one of mossys threads I bought myself a new valeo radiator part no 732474 and air con condenser as mine was dust.

Stripped it off to swap the fan over and noticed a hole halfway down the side that does not appear on my existing radiator

Anyone got an idea if I have been sent the wrong radiator or is I can get some form of blanking plug for this rad?

Cheers

Be handy if someone could link to the correct bung as I’m going to need one shortly as well. TIA

just seen this thread


half way down there is a picture of the nissen rad with a thread detail of M22 x 1.5, just looked for a blanking plug and found this as an example -


sound about right?

Did anybody manage to source a blanking plug? I'm in the same position and that ebay link is sold out :(

I bought a Valeo rad - all fits perfectly quality is good.

I used this blanking plug which fitted and sealed perfectly - I also put a smear of silicon gasket around the threads to make doube sure (as im never going to take it out). Hope that helps.


PS I don't trust the plastic plugs and believe a few people have had issues with them blowing out.

These are also cheaper than the plastic jobs or were when I was looking
