V6 Radiator the same as the V8's?
Hi,
I was wondering if the Audi A8's V6 Radiator is the same as the 4.2 V8's? or if it is possible to fit the V8's into a V6 Thanks Andrew

perhaps you could compare part numbers on a website to see if they match up?! someone like northern radiators let you select models/engine.... I bought (don't recall where from could have been NR) a V6 rad last summer and IIRC it was circa £120. Why are you trying to fit a V8 unit to a V6? the normal rad seems to do a good enough job......

V6 and V8 Radiators are different - the bottom hose connects by bayonet fitting for the V6 whereas the V8 uses jubilee clips and also the hose connections are in different places. The V6 also has a different radiator housing as the Viscous fan and Electric fan are the other way around on the V8.
