Default Radiator and Fan - Good Price??

Found this on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-POLO-SK...item43a70876cd

£50 plus postage doesn't seem bad with the fan. Is this the right polo radiator?

The width should be ok but looks a bit tall, can always be laid back at an angle for clearance but too much might reduce cooling.
The one i used with 2.0 zetec in my locost is vertical. Old pt no. VW 302 or 321. Fits 1983 / 1990 1100-1300 polo. The site below gives dims of rads.

A bit more from the westfield site.

Chris is the person to contact, he is supplying the Polo rads and Golf rads to a number of se7en owners.

Part codes are still

VW2028 for the golf sized rad
VW2038 for the polo sized rad

www.discount-cooling.co.uk

Again - nothing to do with me - just passing on what looks like a good price and service to other members...

it did look a little tall.
Seemed a good price for a combo that why I was interested. From last time I looked the polo rad can be had for £35 on ebay.

Whats a good cheap fan solution (new?)

Cheers
