Title: Air con rad.
Post by: Vwgtiking on December 30, 2015, 08:35:56 am
Just received this today and wondering what people's thoughts are of its condition. I bought it bundled with the rad and intercooler as mine is all pushed in. Does this one looks like it would work ok or should I buy a third party one as can't afford oem?

Well I emailed the breakers and they gave me a full refund. Does anyone know if non gen air con rads fit or work ok? I assume it's in bad condition as its at the front taking the brunt of everything

Non OEM will be fine, only things I'd buy OEM is body parts such as bumpers and wings. Is there a brand stamped on it?

I've fitted non OEM inter coolers on Octavia's and a focus and all fit well, so I'm sure the air con rad will be no different.

I'm glad the A/C rad takes all that beating instead of the intercooler!
