    What brand radiator do we like these days?

    I believe I have a small leak from my radiator. Hoses and temp sensor are bone dry, and inside of bumper cover is wet with coolant. Options that I see include Behr or Nissens. Are either of these any good? Thanks.

    A year ago I got 8e0121251a new from the dealer for $187 (1.8T manual) , the price has since almost doubled to $367!!! If I remember right it was made in England. OEM seems to have gotten way too expensive. Nissans would be my other choice.

    Thanks guys. Nissens it is then. Genuine is too pricey.

    "Are you actually asking that question.. Just don't even post on my thread. why do I need to lie on an Audi forum about me fucking two bitches at once. (not literally) yes i did, you are late to the party.
    and this thread has ran out of gas. I just wanted to tell people about my experience I had 2 nights ago and felt like sharing it with my fellow B6'ers. And I thank the people who didn't hate."

    I just did my beater 1.8t auto with a Nissens from Rockauto. Genuine or OE manufacturer for radiators for me.
