[5K] Radiator Options

We noticed this weekend that the radiator is leaking from the end cap on the
engine side. I have 335K+ miles on the car and can't remember replacing the
radiator though I might have. I remember sometime ago a discussion on
radiator options as replacements. I can't find the thread, but if I remember
correctly I thought that someone was custom modifying a Modine for an Audi.

Are there options for radiators in the 5K? In the meantime has anyone had
any luck in crimping the end caps without making it worse. Right now I have
a small leak that I can live with until I get a replacement, but am curious
about the success of tightening the end caps.

TIA

  93 octane only, although not always name brand gas. Tires are Conti
225-55/16 on A4 rims (recently replaced with 16x8 UrS4 5 spoke courtesy of
Charlie Smith). Tire pressure between 34 and 36. Tires are very round and
reasonably soft- these are NOT high performance tires. Note my city mileage
is fine- 16-18 hard driving,, 20-21 easy/little boost in mixed city/highway,
so I would think O2 is still doing OK. Track mileage is 8-10.
 Just seems that @ 3k rpm car is looking 6th gear. South Florida is pretty
flat, but traffic is often heavy, especially on I-95. HTH
Regards,
Jerry

It's crucial what octane and tire pressure you were running.
Numbers please?

PS: If I can't get mid 20s MPG at highway speeds on 91 octane
and 38 psi any longer, is O2 sensor probably dead?  ' anyone know
how to test it?
