Thanks for the reply papaindigo Did a relatively quick search in an attempt to find anyone with a radiator failure without success. It's soothing to know I'm not unique with the radiator failure. As for the part number I don't know it either, however I already ordered it through Idparts along with the lower radiator hose, it's on the way (I told them on the phone it was for a CRD). I was not aware of the difference within the gasser/diesel radiator, thanks for sharing. My broken/cracked radiator is still at the shop, probably pick it up tomorrow. The owner of the shop called me earlier in the day and said that the side tanks and attaching gasket are fine. That their is an irreparable crack within the radiator itself??This is coming from the owner of a radiator repair shop only, that has been around for several years. I'm taking their word for it.
Not sure if the radiator was already weak (leaking) in that area, and I damaged it more when I changed the fan clutch? That area is so tight, that if I knew then, what I paid now. I would have removed the whole front grill and everything behind it.
