Ron, I am interested in knowing if you agree with eric's comments. So which radiator is heavier and what is the price per unit weight and do you think that the content of the radiator has any affect on the degradation of the coolant system? Which metal is the metal of choice? regards gary Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 21:12:22 -0400 From: The Bus Depot <vanagon@BUSDEPOT.COM> Subject: Re: Which Radiator The SA or German > Wonder which radiator to go with I noticed BD carries a SA > version and a German version.

To be honest. I have no reason to believe that the German one is better. We've sold the South African one (which is OEM VW) for years and had not one lick of trouble with them (nor with the German ones). Some people believe that anything with the magic "G" word on the box is by definition better. If you feel that way, spend the extra $50 for your own peace of mind. But frankly when I needed one for my own Vanagon, I used a South African one. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW
