Radiator dilemma - Polo or MB190
I need radiator.. so I got problem...
To buy second hand genuine Mercedes 190 radiator for cheap... and take into account possible change in later time... or... To buy new one - Polo rad because it's cheaper than Mercedes 190 rad....or Is it worth to buy brand new Mercedes rad and forget about other... Of course new Polo/Mercedes aren't genuine VAG/MB parts - more PRCh ;) so quality varies... Prices are as follow: New MB190 rad: 175PLN (35GBP) New Polo rad: 110PLN (22GBP) Second hand MB190 rad: 70PLN (14GBP) Personally, I prefer MB190 rad but I have enough other expenses - so second hand will be the best... because of size/price... and I don't like anything with VW sign ;) |
If it were me, I'd pay the extra £13 and go for the new Merc rad.
It should provide better cooling than the Polo rad and being new is less likely to fail than a second hand one. |

I fitted the Polo rad in mine and the cooling is really on the limit.

It's not surprise for me that radiator from 1.0l car isn't efficient enough for 2.0l (or bigger V6) engine, especially in sports car. |
