John Gaines Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Is the standard 1600 crossflow radiator up to the job of cooling a 2 L zetec on throttle bodies? What are the alternatives? Many thanks, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobuy Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 We*tfield users are very keen on VW Polo and Golf rads for the Zetec as they are cheap and easily available. Do a search on the WSCC BB at http://boardroom.wscc.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi Duratec Se7en, built in Dubai, pics here! Keep it sunny side up and out of the kitty litter.

John Gaines Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Thanks,I was aware of the polo radiators but what I want to find out is if the caterham radiator used with the crossflow is up to the job? If so I can keep my original. Many thanks, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julians Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I have the crossflow rad on my 190ish bhp zetec and it seem to cope fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Jones Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Polo/golf rads are only £40.00 ish Westfield use them on most cars X flow, VX, Zetec, Duratec, but not on the V8 [ I belive] Paul. See My Car Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Westie Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 For the V* they use the thick Golf rad (three cores instead of two) The car in front is a Westfie1d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
