Leaking water cooler, uprades?
Hi,
in the last weeks my car got sporadic cooling water error Messages.
When I checked the cooling water Level, nearly 0,2 Liter were missing,
not so much but enough for a leak in the system, so my local shop checked
all the involved parts and found a leak in the left water cooler.
Now my question, are there any Upgrades to the OEM water coolers?
I normally always trying to upgrade the parts when they are defect

oem cooling system is fine.
I believe you'll run into trouble since the OEM radiators uses special connectors instead of water fittings like many other systems on the market.
Best bet, replace it with an OEM radiator, do the other side and possibly the center while you're at it.
It's not an uncommon replacement. Mine are about due (75k miles).

Thank you dhahlen,
when the local shop will remove the front bumper to Change the Radiator we will take a look to the right and middle Radiator after cleaning. I think also it is better to Change them all, since These parts are not so expensive and have a lot of plastic parts. Thanks for your help!
My car has 45K miles at the Moment.
Also on high HP cars These Radiators will be used?
