I have a 2.0 zetec in what was once a mk4 1.3 fezzy, will the original 1.3 rad I have be ok or should I get hold of a bigger one? Like say from a 1.8 etc?

Any help appreciated

Dave

 

i'd get a bigger one in there if i were you, no sense keeping a smaller one if there is a direct fitting larger one.

 

I dunno if there is a direct fitting larger one, I guess it'd be from something like a Zetec S or a Puma

 

have you thought about fitting a saxo vts rad

 

you could use an rs turbo one, one from a later car running on a zetec.
wouldn't be hard to make it fit and pipe it up.

saxo rads are ok, but you have to fit a bleed point high up in the cooling system as they don't self bleed like the standard header tanks.

 

fezzielove the vts job sounds like a winner lol

 

its a short vad with a wide core plus header tank is built into the rad we did this on the mk1 and im doing this on the escort as the bay is all smooth with no wiring visable
