Does anyone know if the radiator for my car (1996 Sti Ra), is the same as one from a UK turbo of the same year or not?

What sort of price am i looking at for a new unit?

There is a small split in the plastic end tank. Can this be repaired?

Thanks

The split on the tank is quite common IMO,and it cant be repaired AFAIK.
David at API may be able to help you with one
AFAIK all classic rads for the turbos are the same (inc an AT fitting a manual) if it helps.

stockcar

the auto one is different (has a transmission cooler built in), however, ALL of the manual classic turbo cars are the same..................we now have a fix for the split tanks also............

hope this helps, alyn

Thanks for the quick replys

Is it the case then, that the radiator is the same for UK turbos, import Wrx, Sti's ?

The one that i have is a 'calsonic', that will be a OEM fitment i think.

stockcar

yep as above ALL of the manual turbo cars are the same..................

wannabuy

i am going to try and repair mine tomorrow Alan,got any tips on the end tank repair ??

Dont bother to try and repair yourself,if Alyn knows how then best to get it done by him as you could wate alot of time and effort.

Would be interested to know how much it costs to repair the plastic tank as i come across a few with this problem,can a broken return pipe on the same tank also be repaired?

BTW,the auto rad would fit but you would leave the oil cooler pipes disconnected or loop them,the manual wouldnt fit an auto,just a comment (not that it matters coz the auto turbo rads are like rocking horse manure anyway)
