Radiator Replacement
Hello all,
I need a new radiator replacement for my WRX 2002 bugeye, I'm looking at this one from ECP;
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Su...72de3c1&000261
Is this adequate? This is my first Subaru so i'm rather unsure!
Many thanks

I bought this one off ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...item3f1e26cb3b
Some may scowl that I bought cheap off ebay but when it arrived it seemed well made and did the job. Changing it is a piece of ****, bleeding the system after fitting is the hard est part.

Bleeding the system is hard because there is no known way to do it properly, LOL.
You have to refil VERY SLOWLY, not allowing it to glug, gurgle etc.
The best way is via a funnel stuck down the rearmost pipe off the metal header tank on top of the engine.
And DO have the heater set to hot while filling/draining.
Also DO use good quality anti-freeze suitable for an alloy engine at 50% dilution

I have one from euro car parts. (Rad burst on the way from cambridge to leeds for a bloody funeral!)
Fits fine very good quality part from what i can see and they are a doddle to fit! 30 mins max including the bleed if you are lucky

make sure you get the right one though (either with, or without a cap)
i've had mine on about two weeks, all ok so far!
