It should fit a Moskvitch 408, IIRC.

The Moskvitch 412 had a Russian copy of the M10 engine.

Are they any cheaper to buy though?

I have no clue what this means at all. Who is "they", and how do you load on a radiator?martauto wrote:Some times they load it on for the bmw logo !

What exactly are you asking us for?

"they" are the people who sell us goods.
I was asking if the radiator was used in any other make of car because sometimes it can be cheaper because it is not "bmw".

Probably, if you happen to be in Russia...martauto wrote:Speedtouch wrote:The Moskvitch 412 had a Russian copy of the M10 engine.

I suspect it will be cheaper to either get your existing rad repaired, or buy a good used one.

Bought a new one from Euro car parts yesterday. cost me £62. I cant see you getting a recore much cheaper. Good second hand could hard to find and for £62 is it really worth the grief.

Like the fact they last all of 6 months before they start springing leaks. ECP have an EIS radiator for my car at £42, I think that should already start ringing alarm bells considering I would expect to pay for around £200 for a fairly good aftermarket radiator, and an optimum real BMW radiator is between £300-400.
You get what you pay for in this world, and I wouldn't compromise quality when it comes to mechanical parts. If I'm buying and fitting a radiator I would wanna know it's good and sorted for the next decade at least.

I have personal experience of that. Found mine leaking from the temp switch boss. The boss was turning inside the rad at a worryingly low torque and was the cause of the leak. When I replaced it with a Nissens rad, I found the Nissens to be significantly more efficient too.Mitchen wrote:I wouldn't trust those cheap ECP radiators..

You could be right but I will have to see how it goes now as its on the way. I was going to get my old one recored but couldn't find anywhere local to do it.
