Not got the connection for oil modine in pic And the OE number quoted is not recognised at all on service box I would say this one below is for gti6  As the OE number quoted matches service box  http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/c/Peugeot_306_2.0_1999/p/car-parts/car-cooling-parts-and-car-heating/cooling/car-radiator/?203735350&1&5377167a672e150c4be56dc3866de6c198a66ec7&000261 ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

The one in Pugjim's link is the one i have on my car now. Pretty indistinguisable from a nissens tbh and isnt in anyway razor sharp as carl said  ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

It's only 22mm thick core, gti6 and rallye are 32mm, so kev's linky at 3 times the price is correct.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yes I did see the other ones on there. The one at £97 says Valeo on it so should be good quality still at a good price. Carparts4less is a sister company of euro car parts in case anyone was wondering. |

EIS rads arent the best tbh, we fitted one to a vaux zafira,was thinner than original and started to leakafter 600 miles, Euro car parts gave us another one which also leaked. According to other peeps in the trade, there have been quite a few issues with these radiators. Avoid. |

Mine looks the same as the one in the link but when looking at the photo close up it does look more razor sharp fins than mine.Mine is thinner than standard valeo but not by 10mm. Its very similar to a Nissens ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

I'd stick with Nissens to be honest, at least that way you know you're getting a quality product. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

thermostat opens at 83 degrees, so probably not, it'll keep the coolant down to that temp better, but no cooler due to the stat.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
