fitting SE310, VOLKSWAGEN POLO MK4 1.4 RADIATOR i've got a problem...

[LewisTaylor]

not a major problem, just the one i've bought have come without a bung for this massive threaded hole.

this is my radiator:

this is a picture of what it should look like, stole the picture from chrispy's project thread, hope he doesn't mind

as you can see above there is a bung where i have a threaded hole.

any help on where i can get one from would be appreciated

thanks

[LewisTaylor]

whats it called/size to ask for?

 

[DannyR]

Is there one on your Clio rad? I've had one with that bung and one that didn't need a bung

haven't seen one did look, but only with it still on, don't want to take it out to find i have to put it back in, its been cable tied like yours for now my car gets more bodged by the day haha

 

[DannyR]

Are you trying to say mine is bodged? Lol!

It's running not bad now still slight misfire but it's back on song

na nothing wrong with some duck tape and cable tie's

good good, gave mine an oil, oil filter, plug & leads change today, aswell as fitting a mocal oil cooler (had it ages just not had time to fit) and seems to be running fine now, much better than rolling road meet, no more nasty blue smoke old oil was totally black, think it was well over due a change.

just need to get this bung for my rad now and i can get that on.

I retract my last post, firing on 3 now!

Think possibly a loom fault by the MAP sensor

Call this guy and get measurements? Look about right

[DannyR]

Lol, I think it's sorted now

 

[Craig Ed]

Lol didn't even realise the date I did a polo rad search and instantly assumed it was upto date!

I agree Danny, sorted

 

[LewisTaylor]

For anyone that would want to know in a future search, i went to GSF, was only about £1.24 or something, took a while before the woman understood what i was after though!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Yeah they all come without the bung - on chrispy's thread he mentioned he had to ring up for one

I went to GSF and asked for a radiator temperature sensor blank - they found for for a couple of quid

Glad you got it sorted

Dumb question and no time to research - why the change in radiator?

For us big boy's running ITB's it's a lower rad so gives more room for a big airbox and trumpets

For the record it's also a rad that only cost's £30, and provides approx same surface area as standard radiator so with a good fan makes for a good cheap track day radiator.

Sorry to dig out an old thread but I'm after a Polo Rad for my 172 Cup. Does anyone have any upto date part numbers etc?

Thanks
