isis 16 Report post Posted October 15, 2008 why buy 2nd hand for items like this with no guarantee that it'll last and would probably need changing again down the road...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arros 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 Had the radiator on the E34 break at the water entry point- if you are going to buy 2nd hand check for hairline cracks around the connections. For those amongst us who have microscopic vision how do you know- unless you install it then have it pressure tested..taking the risk there buddy. But then I installed a second hand radiator back in and it's been fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arros 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 Guy on trademe selling E34 radiators brand new. Check the TM BMW parts section. I think from memory looking on ReadOEM.com the brand he is selling is that listed as being fitted by BMW for the E34 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its pretty labour intensive. You have to weigh up weather you go for the full recon and have peace of mind for the next say.. 100,000 ks, or go for the second hand and never be to sure. If the second hand rad is sub $150 its probably worth going for it I guess? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
