[s-cars] Heater Core Mfr decisions

[Nathan Belo]

Mine exploded at 185K leaving a pool of pink juice on the passenger side floor mat (What a PITA to clean out. Used a steam cleaner). Scott Mockry SJM Autotechnik recommended the Audi OEM for all heater cores because he wasn't sure about reliability on the aftermarket ones.  He recommended since I'm in there to replace the blower with the chinese blower (Box said china, but blower was stamped GERMANY).

Folks:
Need advice on making a decision between AKG (evidently now made in China)

or Meyle (not known for overwhelming product quality)

thanks!
