Hello everyone, I have been a long time member of the vwvortex community with my TDI. Recently I have moved up in the world and back in time after acquiring a 1987 300SDL. Absolutely love this car, best vehicle I have driven. I did a little searching before posting but I am finding a lot of older threads. Anyway, this week I ran into my first major issue after the fan clutch locked up and failed. It ended up hitting my radiator and that is the problem.
So this radiator has been discontinued and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Surely someone else has ran into this same issue. If someone knows where to get one or would like to sell one please let me know. Any insight would be appreciated greatly as I want to get this tank back on the road asap.

Have you tried
www.autohausaz.com ???

I always find the original parts I need for required maintenance on mine at fair prices...

I did actually end up ordering from them. I decided to use a 300td radiator. Although it is not the radiator for my car it fits perfectly. The only difference is it is not as wide. Still uses facyory hoses and transmission cooler lines. The cost was right at $110.

Thanks for the shout out Berde! Much appreciated.

I'm glad to hear it worked out for you.

Just so everyone knows there is a company called wizard cooling that sells an exact fit all aluminum radiator for the 86,87 SDL.
