what make different between air cond radiator and non air cond radiator?

17111712823 and 17111712484.

can I use non air cond radiator for my car that is use air conditioning?

asking this because this is far more cheaper to use non air cond radiator than use air cond radiator.

and what is negative effect? does it will make my car overheat or there are no temperature switch option to plug into the non air cond radiator?

thank you

An Aircon radiator is a lot larger the same as a tropical rad.
If you have Aircon I personally would only recomend using the proper rad

The non-aircon and tropical radiators are much larger, because the aircon condensor sits in front of the standard-sized radiator and blocks it completely. Considering 325i's crack their heads if they overheat, it is not worth the risk of running a smaller sized radiator than recommended.

A tropical radiator might be cheaper than an aircon one, and that's whatI used.

Does your radiator has a small inlet/port/hole to install air con temperature switch in the right side of the radiator?
