At 220KKM, your car is a "pup", and if it has the original Blackstone radiator, you would be spending money for all the wrong reasons to replace it... assuming you have kept up with the coolant replacement schedule.

From what I have seen, the aftermarket rads are iffy at best, but one piece of advice that another poster mentioned, use a hose and blow the bugs out of the cooling fins is true gold.
