Moodles2 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Alum if anything, it's cheaper, it's lighter, and is only slightly inferior to copper when it comes to heat conduction.

vitz_n1 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yeah i thought it may have been aluminium due to how light it is. However, after inspecting it appears to be copper... the fins def are at least. Thanks, all solved.

wlspn Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just out of interest how did you come to the conclusion that the fins (at least...) are copper?

bubba Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Mine certainly didn't look like copper.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/329936-what-is-the-factory-r32-gtst-radiator-made-of/#findComment-5361842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitz_n1 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 My radiator fan bolts snapped and the fan went off balance and started grinding against the radiator.... it stripped the paint and all the fins are a copper color. I just got another radiator and it looks aluminium to me though.... so im at a loss now.... I just wanted to know so i knew if i could silver solder or not. But damage was to bad to repair anyway.
