radiator
I am in desperate need of a radiator for my 1982 deisel vanagon. Have purchased 2 and they are wrong. to rebuild the core on my existing one is over 600.00. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

rebuilding radiator
is this a difficult task?and where do you get the parts to do this?
Anne Marcotte
Difficult is a very relative term. I wouldn't find it difficult, but then again I've done custom engine swaps. Your skill set might be different. Some folks find it difficult to change a tire.
The parts would need to be sourced from a donor vehicle (e.g. junkyard).

You might post a wanted add either here or at www.thesamba.com. I'm sure you can find someone to ship the parts to you and I don't imagine they would cost all that much.

I am confused, because the 1982 radiator has 2 thermostats and the 83 and up has only one, how do you convert this?
