UrQ Radiator Replacement Options
Here's the score so far on replacements for the main radiator in
my UrQ.
Original radiator - $500 (ouch)
One from a 1987 CGT with dual radiators- $220 (good, but still
need aux. radiator and no guarantee it will fit 100%)
Sportwheels custom single - $800 (Excelent, still in beta
version, v. expensive)
Go with single radiator from other 4000 series - ? (Some say
the late coupes had a larger capacity rad, others say the late
4000Q's had a larger capacity?) Chris Semple has a great deal
on custom versions of this. Didn't someone overheat with a
regular main w/ no aux?
Dialynx (Don't even ask how much, I didn't)
Anyone have any other thoughts or reasons why I shouldn't go
with the single rad. out of a 4000Q from Autobahn? Was there
really no reason that Audi put an aux. rad. in these cars? Plus,
why do the 130hp '87 CGT's have a dual system? So many
questions. Someone shed some light here before I'm stupid
and go with the cheap option combined with new low temp
thermostat and thermoswitch.
Thanks.
