I've always had a slow loss of coolant for awhile and it looks like its the radiator, as the bottom of my radiator core appears to be wet today, and is starting to rust (see pic).
Looking on eBay, there is this listing (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/122898973245) which states it fits "Commodore VE V8 6.0L & 6.2L 9/11- & VF 5/13- Manual & Automatic Trans", so looks like they are all interchangeable.
I'm leaning towards this all aluminium radiator (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/292137570852) to possibly avoid this issue again and was wondering if it will fit? This listing does not state VF fitment like the listing above. I do have a manual car so don't need the fittings for the auto transmission.
Has anyone changed to an all alloy radiator like this? Any issues?
For those who have had radiators changed out in their VFs, how many hours were charged by the mechanic?
Thanks
Alex
