radiator replacement

[Bernie Benz]

IME Kneale, the failures are always in the plastic headers, not the aluminum core. Few R shops are plastic experts. The ABS headers can be R&Red from the core and the cracks resealed, cemented from the inside. A DIY job.

I've tried about 8 different online/local shops and they all say the 20v version is no longer available.  Even tried Audi direct.  Most places can't even distinguish between the 10v and the 20v when I call and it's getting frustrating.  Are there other makes/models that work?  The current rad lasted 22 years :)
