Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Radiator part number?

    Does anyone have the radiator part number for a 2006 polo gti? I'm looking at getting an aftermarket radiator from the U.S.

    Thanks

      A dealer spare parts department will be able to advise..

      Note that the actual radiator is way less than $300, it's the 4 hoours labour to fit it that is the killer...

        Yeah i think i have the same issue.

        Coolant light keeps coming on as the level of coolant is dipping below the minimum. My 06 GTI has 55k.

        Have gone through a whole bottle of coolant, didn't have much idea what was happening as i had no drips at all, but after reading this thread i think that may have solved the mystery.

        So i figure from the other post you are looking at about $700 to replace it? Anyone recommend a good VW mechanic near Wollongong?

        Cheers

          After receiving the first batch of new updated radiators not long ago the first unit was installed today. Its very similar in design but the fins are a lot thinner and the crimping where the old radiators leak has been upgraded:

          The area of the leak:



          The new radiator:
