I used the Polo rad, I bought mine from this supplier, very quick delivery for a very good price, tho I must admit, it was only £22 plus postage when I bought it in January.

cheers

We have neither the Polo or Clio in the US, so many of us use a Honda Civic radiator.

I 'm driving a 1991 Civic, I'm a fan of Japanese cars, so I was considering a Civic rad as an option. But, apparently, at least in theory Polo and Clio rads are more efficient, as they are two-pass. OTOH, the same Civic rad is used in 160 bhp hot hatches, so, apparently, it must be up to the job.
