Re: Radiator swap or fix



    As far as I know, all VW cooling systems are "pressurized" To around one
atmosphere above ambient (14.5+psi) Maybe what you mean is whether it has a
remote reservoir with its own filler cap. I'd like to find a diesel rad.
(all metal, steel/brass?) and get rid of the plastic/aluminum one. I don't
think any of them will fit though.
