Hi all. Searched archives some but didn't find an obvious answer. I understood the risk prior to purchase, but got a good deal on some used WBX parts. Seller said the radiator had low KM's. It *appears* to reflect this. A garden hose can test flow (and pressure test for leaks?) but if I supply pics of this radiator, can anyone take a guess as to whether or not it would be worth installing? Compared to a radiator I pulled from a 1.9 Vanagon (parts van) images: https://picasaweb.google.com/musomuso/19WBXRadiatorOpenedUp# the newer radiator looks WAY better. On a side note, though I'm not expert, on that 1.9 radiator I was surprised to see that the core inlets-outlets weren't obviously clogged. Thanks!
