## Overview

The TYC 2265 Radiator is a premium OE-equivalent replacement designed for 1999-2005 Volkswagen Golf models. Featuring precision-engineered aluminum tubes and fins, reinforced structural components, and factory leak testing, it ensures optimal cooling efficiency and durability. This radiator offers a direct fit for hassle-free installation, restoring your vehicle’s factory cooling performance with confidence.

## Description

To restore your vehicle's factory cooling efficiency, all TYC radiators are equivalent to OE construction for number and placement of fluid tubes and cooling fins. For those radiators with transmission oil coolers, the tanks are molded using heat-resistant, high-density polymer plastic for added protection against extreme engine temperatures. Each TYC radiator is leak-tested before leaving the factory to ensure consistent quality.

Review: Perfect Fit, but CAUTION - Exact fit for MK4 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.8L VR6 24v. CAUTION!! The original fan mount may not clear the new radiator. I did not notice this prior to installation and after about two years, the fan mount created a hole in the radiator from rubbing. This is not the radiator's fault at all. Had to buy a new one, of course. Just be aware and trim the fan mount to get the clearance if necessary. I used a dremel. Sand the ridge after trimming to remove sharp edges. 100 grit works well
Review: Fits as should - Replaced a few days ago. About 200 miles in and no issues yet. Only fitment issue is on the lower left side there is a spot to secure an ac condenser line that does not quite fit properly. I was able to secure it but had to put the screw on sideways. (Hard to describe but of you do the job you will see what I mean) for the price I would buy it again if I ever do another one.
