These radiators tend to fail with age. VW's crimped aluminum and plastic
construction....


I've replaced the radiator on my '90, as well as my old '82 Rabbit Pick-up.


My best advice, BUY A NEW ONE!  If you put in a used one, and it fails, its
going to be a lot more expensive to fix the now overheated engine.


I purchased the $179 South African one from TBD.  According to my mechanic (who
put it in for me), looks as good as the german one.


(Just my 2 cents..)
