Late 2.1TD radiator

[hobblerian]

I have the same fittings on my radiator, have to say when I replaced mine recently they did come apart reasonably easily. Just pinging the clips out then gentle wriggling and pulling was enough to seperate them. I did have the advantage of working in a pit though which probably helped with the leverage.

Hi gents, im sure the 2.1 and the 2.0 petrol turbo share both intercoolers and rads, can anyone confirm this for me? and do i have to change the coolant hoses to fit this type of rad? im going to be putting a new intercooler and rad on my turbo engine and if i can fit this it would save a good chunk of money and i would have a good make of radiator too!

I also understand the 2.1 an d2.0t rad and cooler to be the same, but you would need new hoses as this is bayonet fitting, whereas yours is traditional, isn't it?

[Dean]

yes they are the traditional fittings, just read back , so £30 for the rad but £££££ for new hoses..............might have a scrapyard raid this week, lots of stupidly new cars in there and if i can find a set of hoses i may have a punt on it.

I've had a look on Citroen Serivice and the Intercooler and general radiators have the same part numbers for TCT and 2.1 TDs.

Thanks for that robert, i may seriously give this some consideration if you arent interested now?

[robert_e_smart]

I'm not interested in it, I have 2 sets of spares to go through before I consider buying a new one

[Dean]

Ok Robert thanks
