radiator

[Steve]

Went to Serck Marston to see about aving the top of my rad fixed as it has a hairline crack on the top... he asked me if the car was an auto.. is the rad different for A/T and M/T and if so where and why?

By the way.. Serk Marston in Poole... They want to sort there ignorant staff out.. i have never met such an ignoramos guy in my life. Was not interesting in fixing my rad.. too busy scratching his *****... I would not have used them anyway after dealing with someone like that!

auto's do tend to have larger radiators,as more heat is generated.............

Some Autos have an extra cooler on the botton of the radiator.Others,take the GS300 have to have a different radiator fitted if it is going to have a towbar fitted

An auto has a larger radiator because it has a transmission cooler in it. If you want you could buy a seperate transmission cooler and just get a normal radiator that will fit a standard. Or get the radiator for an automatic pick up the transmission cooler and save your transmission a little wear and tear. It's pretty easy to hook up and are pretty easy to obtain.
