in all honesty the VZ V6 radiator is just adequate for the job, and some of the aftermarket ones are even worse. They work, but it always seems to be just adequate. Make sure you always bleed them properly, and when ever you have a small weep or leak, air gets sucked back into the system easier than fluid, hence they need bleeding again. Oh for the days of a proper brass and copper radiator with the highest point in the system being the cap...

The radiator that's currently in has a really small leak from the plastic screw. There was also some dry red coolant from one of the hose clamps maybe that's where it's from.

Anyway I will get those done and do a proper bleed and see what happens after that
