Guest Rustler Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hi I now require a new decent radiator for my '92 MK5 1.8cc RQB 130ps XR3i Escort Cabby,( non A/Con). All the ads on ebay and other web sites do not have items that tie up with the part # of the original rad that I've just removed. The part # stamped on my original Rad is.................. 18C2192AB 65M Code60 02AB ......... Any ideas on who can supply a direct replacement or whom I can contact.... Any help would be really appreciated Thanks "Rustler" "The Oldest Cabbier" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 you could look for someone who refurbs them and will re-core it, a quick google search in your area should bring something up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rustler Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks mate, Yes that would be my normal recourse ,but living over here in France, the situation isn't quite as easy, everything is 4 times the Uk price. Also to get items sent over to the UK and back costs bob or two . I've had a few companies on ebay and other sites reply ,but none of them so far can guarantee that their rads are a direct replace ment for my original Rad that I've just removed. I would have contacted "SERK RADIATORS" or similar companies but most of the old companies seem to have gone to the wall now. .........Rustler..... "The Oldest Cabbier"......

Vincygav Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The numbers you gave are not an official Ford part number. Sounds more like an aftermarket number. It is the same as the 1.6 and 1.8 zetec or also try searching for mk5 RS2000 as its the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rustler Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wrexham Radiators,...... Thanks mate.. I'll be onto them ASAP, and let you know how I get on. There does seem to be a bit of a problem with the part # thats stamped on the original rad..... some one thinks it could be the # of a replacement rad. Anyway. I'll contact Wrexham Rads Thanks again .......... Rustler.......... "Rhe Olest Cabbier" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rustler Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi Escort Si- 130.. Yes, I take your point...... hav'nt thought of that...... BUT..... on looking closer at the rad i've just removed , it has the FORD stamp on both top and lower frames and also an old sticker with "FORD BASILDON RADIATOR PLANT" on it..... Any way , I'll go down the road you quote, ie... I'ts the same as ther RS2000 Rad, espesially as I see you've also had or own a 130ps Zetec . Thanks for your help ,will try to keep this post up dated.... ...............................Rustler...................
