You can use that rad Hans but it will need hoses modifying....

All TCTs used bayonet type fittings...

ok, so after work I drove by the garage to take some measurements of the radiator hoses etc .. turns out the radiator is bigger than the original ... .. .. the new one is approx 4 cms wider .
So now I am a little irked. What I have to do is drive by the local Citroen dealer and have them look up the parts so I can write down the OEM numbers for the correct one.



And yes, those 4 cms make it near impossible to slide the sucker in due to the AC pipes amongst other things . .

I believe that might be a 406 one Hans. I recall a person being very delighted to find a nearly new rad on a scrap 406 with a TCT engine and then found it would not fit...

It did in the end with bodges and that was not good...

Your having great fun there Hans. It all seems very confused and perplexing.

Can you post you VIN number, let me do a check with my parts guy in the UK for you to be sure.

New radiator is in, coolant in - air out. Fitting the bottom hose was somewhat difficult at first. I had put a new gasket on and that did not compute at all. Cleaned the old one and it came on like a breeze.
Had a test drive with the car. The rear needs work. There is absolutely no suspension travel there. Hard as rock

Also had to take down the headliner in the C8 - water leakage. .









New radiator. 1301GL is the factory code for this one .

Also the engine will get a cleaning - but weather is still too cold.
