Clio 172 cup radiator - help needed please!

[liamw]

Hi everyone,

need a bit of advice please. On Sunday I was driving in my 172 cup (53 plate) on a gravel track and a large pebble flicked up and cracked my radiator, which leaked everywhere. I have put some Radweld in it to hold it for now, but its still leaking a tiny bit, so im needing a new radiator.

Had a look around on the net for one would this be suitable?

If not, any recommendations?

Thanks

Like I say its a quick temp fix to get me to work and back till I get a new one put on.

upto you looks to be the rite one, id spend a bit more on a rad though. Something you dont want to change again in a hurry. Ask yourself why its cheap? Yes thats rite its made from cheap materials lol

£55 seems very very cheap, 3rd of the price that i paid.

Partco motor factors £103 inc the Vat ordered today ready monday...Make sure its for a 172 cup top and bottom mounts and the core should need tobe 40mm thick

172cup rad is different to a 172/182, its actually the same as a 1.6 with ac

I would sooner buy a second hand genuine one from someone off here, when a poor patent parts goes wrong/fails are they going to cover your costs? Don't get many problems with rads so second hand should be fine
