radiator for my 2ltr mk2.

this radiator is just not doing its job properly, it was supposedly reconditioned, all painted and all straight fins, yet it fails to keep the engine cool.

i cant drive for over 30 mins or so, and if i sit on the highway it will creep up to 100degrees.

normal driving it sits at about 90degrees, slowly creeps up the longer you drive for.

anybody got a good one ??

    are you sure you haven't got a head gasket on the way out?
