Well lads dose anyone on this site have a top fill rad in there polo if so wat rad are ye using also wats needed to do this mod cheers phil

POLOMON

I have one in mine mate, however where i can help im not sure as im on a golf thermostat housing.... lol

Its right under the slam panel, doesent fit in the stock polo holes with the large end tank as it catches the charger. Move the rad over to the passengers sides 10mm and the intercooler towards the drivers side as much as possible and it will fit, JUST ;-)

if you had a front mount then this issue would be less would it not Ben?

Mine only gt so there should be no bother wit space ha.what rad are u using mate

POLOMON

It would Kiz yeee :-) I've got one here actually, I was all set for getting it fitted so I can lift my radiator abit more (to compensate for engine lift) but my gearbox has died so I can't afford to get the pipes to plumb it in yet :-(
Its a mk1 golf item also  Vwpologt :-)

Had one on my mk2 but could never get it bled up properly, I assume this was down to the heater matrix being higher than the rad

POLOMON

I guess given i have no heater matrix and my radiator is lifted 2" (engine lifted 1.75") ive got a small advantage with bleeding it.
