STEVE440 12 Posted December 10, 2023 I got Coolex to make one for my Capri, on the 4th go I gave up as it still was not right. The core and tanks were well made but the inlet and outlets for the Auto box cooler were in wrong place. In the end I fitted a separate oil cooler for the box. I will never use them again, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C0RKTINA 108 Posted December 12, 2023 Mine on my mk4 is Coolex and is fine, at least twice the thickness of original. Mind you, I didn't pay for it, came on another car. There's bit of a brazed repair on the GLS rad so I minght get one for that in due course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
