Fabia Vrs 2004 radiator manufacturer. 6Q0121253R

[Dieselman]

Sorry to bring up a topic that has probably been done to death, but a quick search didn't reveal the answer.

 

Which manufacturer makes the original radiator for a 2004 Fabia Vrs and does anyone have confirmed recommendations for a replacement, without risk of failure, or the need to modify the fittings.

 

Rad part number is 6Q0121253R  Size is supposed to be 632 x 414mm.

I am aware I need O rings N90765301

I took a suffix-Q one to bits the other day out of my Polo, manufactured by Behr:

Thanks.

I've ordered a Hella one, which I believe are also Behr, but then also believe Mahle to be too.

 

Either way, Hella should be OK and it is specified to be dimensionally correct.
