I was thinking non turbo 1.6 stuff.. that should actually work well except for the taller block between front flange and the water pump.

Some funds fell through so the AWIC was not ordered just yet.. but there have been tons of reviews on this exact kit. It is incredible and worth every penny!

My local parts guy can get me the MK1 radiator with the filler neck for like $190 his cost, I need one as my 1981 radiator has finally rotted the plastic hose flanges
.. Do you think its an alright price to pay? Gahh, I hate spending monies haha.

No, I have one outside that was off the GTI, worked then when I took it off. I would let you have it for 10.00 plus shipping.

thats too much, i can get the stock one brand new for under 100, and the one with a filler neck for 90-120. also lucas your radiator might be a little bit different most westmoreland rabbits had the bolt in style radiator jettas and cabbys had the pin mount.

Yeah well... You guys are in Murricah where you pay diddly-squat for everything.
I pay triple for the same thing made side by side in the same factory.. But hey, we have Health Care haha.
Lucas I appreciate it, but going used will be the same as mine.. likely rotted plastic. I may try and jerry-rig this one back in to action to save coin.

Overflow is so ungodly lol.
I have no issue with my bro's rad with the filler neck. I see no other area for air to go there as opposed to the rads without the filler neck lol.

i have the the filler neck rad in my rabbit and i love it, honestly i've never had a problem with air trapping on any of my diesels. my 2.0 takes a bit of wrestling to get all the air of the system tho.
