As title says basically.

When I had an MGTF we had a section like this, where people posted links and advice on potential donor parts from other models or makes.

Im preety sure a lot of other VAG,Seat,audi bit should fit.

Also presumably if you can pick up a Cuna  rad pack off a 2.0tdi it should be same as VRS?

 

Seems sellers on the Bay of E like to jack the prices up if its for the VRS.

 

Im thinking if the mk2 rad pack is different maybe the actual cores are the same or rear enough that they can be swapped over, even if a bit of fettling was needed.

Plus MK2 is twin fan so surely better

No - I wouldn't expect parts to work between generations. The cars are based on completely different platforms, the MK2 Octavia is PQ35 and a MK3 is MQB...

 

You might find parts from other MQB cars work, such as a MK7 Golf or MK3 Leon

 

This doesn't seem too bad a price for a TDi vRS radiator pack assuming it has everything you need: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144821766382
