Golf radiator conversion - Krizz - 11-15-2016
Hi guys...
So my mini has endless overheating issues.
I've had the original mini raditor serviced about 3 times in about 2 years. I've decided to do a golf radiator conversion.
Please could someone upload pics of the plumbing of pipes. Also I heard that the original mini expansion tank can be used.
My problem is that i saw some guys putting the inlet and outlet pipes of the golf raditor on the right hand side (pipes face the alternator side) however then the golf radiator expansion tube will be at the bottom and not the top. Would this still work?
Any tips and guidance would be useful.
Regards

T piece in the top radiator hose will be needed IIRC

What else have you done to sort the cooling? Is the timing right? Replaced the water pump? Hoses? Fueling?
