damn yo, did you buy a factory radiator or an aftermarket piece of ****? Radiator in mine is 24 years old LOL

oem behr... both of mine are plastic tank type.



the BMW is really frustrating, new one is $220, i can buy a full metal tank radiator for my rx7 for $100, and the bmw is supposed to be cheaper!



the benz was cheap, the old radiator was destroyed when the car got backed into, there is only 1/2" total space between the front grille, radiator and the radiator fan, so if someone backs into the grill you get a busted radiator (and it bends the crap out of the frame right there too)

I wonder how much the dealer will charge to change the timing belt on my wife's Audi A6 quattro 2.7T...



That radiator is eight years old and still holding water, er.... coolant!

Bought a reman rad for the Jetta for 103$!! While everything was going well...kinda...after the wipers stopped working and the horn still doesnt work after replacing the entire unit and fuses the ******* oil light starts randomly coming on with a buzzer and the oil level is fine...im guessing something else isnt ground properly...

I'm back in action, regulator was fucked, however a new regulator was $40 w/ no warranty a new alternator was $100 with lifetime warranty (included the reg)
