I have a 1998 306 Gti 6. Looking for a new radiator (condenser and lower hose pipe once i figure out the rad)

i went on service box, put in my VIN number and it came back with a part number 0000133050 which i googled and it gave http://www.yoyopart.com/oem/5784916/citroen-0000133050.html so the Nissens part is 61252A

All good so far. But then i notice this which claims to be for my car
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-306-Radiator-63512A-2-ltr-04-1997-10-1998-/320995298347?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4abccf8c2b

which is Nissens part number 63512A and much cheaper

and according to this will fit my car
http://www.nationwidecoolingservices.com/?page=search&stype=completes&sby=sboe&comps_oe=1330.25

Part 61252A is £133
Part 63512A is £80

There are differences between them

Confused. :s

63512A is for J4R not RS.

61252A has the takeoff for the heat exchanger.

you are best off fitting a new o-ring to the bottom hose if it is the later type (1343 Z4) though I have seen many with very rotten steel flanges, the hose is1351 ZV.


all the replacement rads are the newer style bottom hose.
