Ok so there's not much information online whatsoever and I'm hoping I will get it from here.
I have a MK1 LCR and I'm upgrading (already upgraded parts) from old to new throughout. The one thing I haven't changed is the radiator and the car is on 94k. This will almost certainly need changing as it'll be 15 years old this year.
Anyway I have seen a Direnza one that says it'll fit the Leon. I'm awaiting a response but what size is the standard radiator? The sales spiel is and I quote
The latest design twin Water Channel Core, which holds more water to reduce engine temps"
1. If this new one has a bigger core will that make it bigger in general for OEM mounting points?
2. As I have a FMIC will this foul it in any way as it has a bigger core?
3. Is there a risk with a better performing radiator that it'll make the car TOO COLD for daily driving, especially in winter?
Thanks in advance.
