My aluminum radiator in my VW closed coolant system works great. However I have an 94 year Jetta which had G11 (blue) coolant. VW came out with the G12 (red) coolant which superceded the blue so I switched to that and soon enough my seams in the old radiator were leaking. I replaced the radiator, water pump, head water flange, fan temp sensor, thermostat and housing. The 94 YJ has an old radiator using green coolant which is what I will continue to use however the radiator fines are falling out and it just is plain old but doesn't leak yet. I want to rebuild the coolant system so the car comes up to speed with the temp too. As long as it doesn't go over temp. :-) I suspect no thermostat. > God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O >mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ > >Peter Parker wrote: >> >> Any opinions on make or brands for the radiator and water pump?
