Replacing Radiator
 

Hey Guys,

I've just had bad news that i need to change the Radiator for my 1998 A8. The trouble is that in Oz parts for the D2's are really hard to come by. I did managed to find one being wrecked, however it has frontal collision so the radiator is stuffed!!
My best choice is to look for a replacement in the UK, which has abundance of parts, however with its size, shipping to Oz won't be cheap!
The part number i need is 4D0121251F, however i managed to track one from a 2002 S8 which i believe is part number 4D0121251R. Does anyone know whether this will be compatible?

Thanks for any input or advice in advance

Cheers,
Steve

talk to A8 parts our forum sponsor on +44 1642 783537 and they should be able to help check that but also they have sent plenty of parts to Aus at a reasonable cost +++

Welcome. Looks like you need a lower right bumper grille as well. I'm sure A8parts can find one of those ;)

The wheels are intriguing, from an A3 maybe? And what size are the wheels & especially tyres, they look a bit small......:Confused:

The wheels might be OK but tyres definitely look too low profile

Keeps the 0-60 times low +++

225x40x18 at a guess but might even be 17's they look tiny.

This is what 17's look like, with the "correct" size tyre (winters in this case). 225/55R17 IIRC.

Wheels are actually OEM B6 S4 18" rims with 235/40 Tyres. I do know what you mean, it does kinda look small on the large A8 :(
