Does anyone know the difference between the radiator for GT Turbos with air con or without air con?

Cheers!

didn't know they did aircon! but check on the right hand side of the rad there should be 2 threaded pipes think they were for intercooler. if thats a problem then get a piece of coolant pipe some treaded hose ends and connect the two togther.

Hmm, it's just that i made call about a new rad, and they said there is two, one for air con and one without. The rad for cars with air con is £40 cheaper but he said it wont fit as it has extra pipes.

doh!!!! forgot about the oil cooler Very Happy see having a valver engine don't need a oil cooler Laughing yet.

As far as i'm aware Renault didn't import any 5 into the uk with aircon. The baccara (monaco) did have it as an option but I don't beleive it was available over here and defo not in GTT.

the 16V oil cooler doesn't go through the rad, its just on the engine and plumbs in via pipes
