New Radiator for 90' 740 16v 700

posted by  someone claiming to be 740gle on  Sun Jul 31 08:32 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Original plastic tank radiator on my 90' 740 16valve broke at the flange that conects to the upper radiator hose, so I am now looking for the new one.

There appears to be two choices - plastic tank OEM style, or all-metal 3-row Nissen.

The best quote so far is from 1-800-Radiator "OEM style", would not disclose the manufacturer, but offer life-time warranty. $113 free delivery.
SImilar at FCPGroton is about $160 more, all-metal is about $180.

I am not using this car for any heavy-dute stuff.
The car has 178Kmiles on it, so I am not sure, that I really do need an all-metal one.

I do have good experience with FCP so far, and heard a lot of positive about them. I am in NJ, so I usually get their stuff next day with the cheapest delivery options. Never dealt with 1-800-radiator.

How do the AT cooling lines and the temperature sensor fit into the all-metal radiators? WOuld any re-piping be required, or is it going to be a direct fit?
Anything 16v specifics?


Any life time experiences with 1-800-radiator would be greatly appreciated.
