If you're diving into the world of cooling systems, you’ll want to take a good look at the CSF radiator. These guys have been in the game for over 50 years, and they’ve sold more than 30 million units worldwide. That's no small feat. They offer a huge range of radiators—over 3,200 applications covering everything from Acura to Volkswagen. So, whatever you’re driving, chances are CSF has something that fits.
What I love about CSF radiators is that they stick to the same materials and styles as the original equipment (OE). Whether your ride has a Copper-Brass setup or an All-Aluminum design, they’ve got you covered. These radiators are built to last, using the highest quality aftermarket components available. Seriously, they’re engineered for high performance and are wind tunnel tested to ensure they do their job right.
Let’s talk about the specifics. The CSF radiator features a plastic tank-aluminum core construction, which is pretty standard but done right. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra strength and durability. You know how some radiators can crack under pressure? Not this one. The gaskets are made from special grade EPDM rubber that can handle extreme temperatures, up to -120 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s some serious resilience!
And when it comes to cooling performance, the fins—what I like to call the heart of the radiator—feature a high-performance multi-louvered design. Plus, each radiator is 100% leak tested at 150% of its operating pressure before it leaves the factory. Talk about peace of mind. They even use industry-best packaging that can withstand a 10-foot drop test. You know they mean business when they go to those lengths.
Now, for the numbers: this is a crossflow radiator with a single row design. The core measures 25 9/16" in length, 15 11/16" in width, and 7/8" in thickness, all crafted from aluminum. The inlet and outlet diameters are both 1 5/16", with the inlet located on the upper driver side and the outlet on the lower driver side. It’s designed to fit a range of models, including the Volkswagen Golf from 2010-2014, the Jetta from 2005-2014, and the Rabbit from 2006-2009.
One last tip: when you’re swapping out your radiator, it’s a good idea to check the old radiator pressure cap for wear and tear. A little preventative maintenance can save you a lot of headaches down the line.
