New radiator - Auto to manual & removed air con...

Post Thu Feb 28, 2013 12:54 pm

Hi,

Finally planning to get my car back on the rood after it's been laid up for a good 15 months!

I suspect I may need a new radiator, but the car was an automatic, and it used to have dealer fit air con (removed when the transmission was changed).

I'm happy enough that I can replace the radiator with an auto one, but does the fact that the car used to have Air con make any difference or can I just disregard that fact?

Thanks

The difference is in the boss that allows a temp sensor to be fitted to the radiator; aircon rads need it, non-aircon rads don't always have it. If your aircon is removed then it won't make any difference.

Thanks man, much appreciated.
