Right have a few q's for you guys.
Got a 1.4 and the rad has been replaced twice now, it's got the stupid circlip fitting on the end. Last time i cut the pipe to get the rad out then got a second hand one with pipe on already but had a tiny leak on that joint so use rad weld and been ok for 2 years.
So old rad is now out and would rather put an easier to replace rad in, could i not use one with a push on connector instead of the circlipped one.
Also the top rad hose off a ph2 vtr saxo is the same as mine so was wondering if the bottom was too? Only thought being i can get a silicone hose kit for a vtr but can't seem to find one for a 1.4 306.
Just thinking of easier replacements as really hate the circlips with a passion!
By the way i also checked on ECP and it came up with 2 rads for mine;
1. 457mm length
2. 610mm length
Would of thought the longer one as isn't the shorter one for a Saxo?
a/c model by the way.
Old rad.
