Yesterday I put my stage 1 BFI dogbone inserts in and had to reprime the fuel system. (Its always something with these cars) Today on the way to work it's saying it wants water. Add some distiller water and keep going. Get to work and it's puking said water all over the ground. Only in the front passenger corner though....I think it's the radiator but I am wearing expensive dress clothes and wasn't ready to get them all dirty kneeling on the ground. According to these guys http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=370985 these radiators are especially prone to failure when the car is vibrating a lot (and boy is she vibrating! Waiting for the new inserts to break in)
My question is this what radiator should I buy to avoid this in the future? Or does it not matter with a new radiator? Mine is 277k miles old....if so what companies should I avoid and which ones have you guys had good luck with?
If there is already a thread on this please direct me towards it
