OPL HPR047 Aluminum Radiator for Saab 9000 (Automatic Transmission)

I have not installed yet but the welds are nice looks good I'll advise flushing it out first still had metal pigments inside the hose openings fast delivery

My SAAB 9000 Aero is running much cooler than it was with the one-row radiator that it came with (installed by previous owner). Just be sure to have a selection of metric screws on hand for the attachment fittings, i.e. the oil cooler; the original radiators used some sheet metal screws into the plastic end tanks - and there's no plastic here! Highly recommended.

Car ran Hot then blewout one of the original plastic sides of my OEM radiator,the Fan sensor failed and this is a cost efficient OEM replacement.All aluminum construction with tig welds and Oem style connections for all parts.

I bought one of these off ebay based on the reviews here but I am not very pleased with my purchase. It was evidently a return, with a no return policy.The top locating hole for the ~1" mounting grommet was about 0.5" out of position, so I welded in a plug.All the mounting screws are not the standard Saab screws -- for example, you need to use metric machines screws to mount the engine oil cooler.Also the drain plug needed work to fit as the drain is too close to the mounting bracket to use a petcock in the standard position. I used a 3" extension pipe to drop the petcock to where it was turn-able.The final straw came when the automatic transmission cooler hoses banjo attachments because, I suspect, the banjo bolts bottomed out before sealing in their taper holes. I haven't solved that one yet and hence suspect the whole thing is probably coming out.** Edit -- indeed the AT fluid holes are too shallow.and the cooler connection banjo bolts are too long to allow the ATF to flow properly.As for how it works/cools? -- I can't say. It has run for all of 10 seconds and started leaking from the AT cooler hose connections.Back to the genuine Nissens I say ...
