Radiator XUD - xanax - 30-03-2016
My ZX 1.9D no A\C as a leak in the radiator that I have to change it soon. In the future i want also to replace the engine for a XUDTE (turbo).
I measured the depth of the radiator and its 2,3 cm, its this model from Valeo : http://www.mister-auto.pt/pt/radiador/valeo-731010_g470_a021731010.html
Is it worth to replace with a bigger one like this: ? http://www.mister-auto.pt/pt/radiador/valeo-231181_g470_a021231181.html (40mm)
Or pay the twice as much and upgrade to all aluminum: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-306-TURBO-DIESEL-93-96-CITROEN-ZX-ALUMINUIM-RACE-ALLOY-RADIATOR-/172058502432?hash=item280f7c6520:g:QSIAAOSwT6pVsJ-o

i like Alu, if you can afford it go for it, see if you can get a Nissans one, will last forever and give better needed cooling if you tune her up . .

there are issues with that aluminium rad - for starters the bottom hose connector is wrong

Id go nissens unless youre going on track with it. quality us good. worth the money imo. track needs a lot more cooling and as tom said the rad doesnt look right either

I'm inclined to buy this one: http://www.mister-auto.pt/pt/radiador/nissens-61326a_g470_a12361326A.html
