1981 Diesel Rabbit metal radiator?
Just had the plastic radiator tank break. There are new radiators with
plastic end tanks available, but I'm more comfortable with an all metal one. Anyone know of a source for an all metal radiator? Everything I've found appears to have plastic. |

Metal ones rust out much faster and since a VW cools well they don't have a market for the all metal ones. -- Jeeps and dubs and everything's nice... |
