Perfect Fit, but CAUTION
Exact fit for MK4 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.8L VR6 24v. CAUTION!! The original fan mount may not clear the new radiator. I did not notice this prior to installation and after about two years, the fan mount created a hole in the radiator from rubbing. This is not the radiator's fault at all. Had to buy a new one, of course. Just be aware and trim the fan mount to get the clearance if necessary. I used a dremel. Sand the ridge after trimming to remove sharp edges. 100 grit works well

Fits as should
Replaced a few days ago. About 200 miles in and no issues yet. Only fitment issue is on the lower left side there is a spot to secure an ac condenser line that does not quite fit properly. I was able to secure it but had to put the screw on sideways. (Hard to describe but of you do the job you will see what I mean) for the price I would buy it again if I ever do another one.

On Time, No Damage, Good Packaging
Works like a charm, direct replacement with no need to change anything. Fits my 2001 VW Bora 1.6 SR as it's like a golf but with a trunk.

Great quality for the money
Radiator fit well. All fittings are high quality and mated with original hoses and thremo-sensor fine. Packing seemed minimal; I had no problems, but I could see this being damaged in shipping.

Works good in my Audi
I bought this for my 2001 Audi TT Quattro 225hp (AMU engine). So far so good. It’s been a few weeks and no issues. I was having overheating issues and It turned out not to be the radiator as the issue, it was actually the engine cooling/radiator fan switch (triangle shape) mounted to the radiator on the driver side (which was an exact fit in this radiator). This was after replacing my water pump/timing/radiator of course. I decided to go OEM on the switch because I’ve learned the hard way that Audi’s will give you the least amount of issues with switches/sensors if they are OEM. I’ve gone through enough cheap knockoffs to learn that spending $90 on a sensor vs. $17 is worth it in the long run. I’m hoping this radiator holds up but so far, no issues. It was also an exact match for my original one. Hope this helps

Looks Like OEM, perfect fit!
This radiator looks just like the OEM unit. I replaced the leaking original radiator on a 2002 VW Passat 1.8 L with A/C. No issues the project took about 4.5 hours disassembly to reassembly Car runs great. I did not replace any other items I simply removed the quick connect hose connections and the Temp sensor from the original and reinstalled them on the new radiator. No leaks perfect fit, I highly recommend this radiator especially for $60.00!

Perfect fit, appears very good quality, but time will tell. Put already about 40,000 miles on it, and happy. Would buy again.

The rad arrived early. Fitment was perfect and with 500 km on the car so far there are absolutely no leaks and the car is operating at nominal temperature. For the price I would say it's a great product! Installed on a 2007 Golf City.
