I need a radiator for my tiptronic1994 Cab. Any ideas where I can get one? I've looked in the forum here and he's checking to see if it will be usable in my car. I'm looking for plan b in case that doesn't work out.

Thanks for your time.

The radiator for the Tip cars is different then manual cars. The one for the Tip is 95110603106 currently from Sunset Porsche it should run you about $370 for a new one. I think that is about the best you are going to do for a new one. DCAuto up the road in NC has a used pressure tested one for $200, but I'd probably pop for new at a $170 differential.

Check eBay, I was surfing through yesterday on "Porsche 968 -hid -led-xenon" and somewhere deep I thought I saw a rad because I remember rejecting the list because it said "tip"

I've bought used parts from these guys and have been very happy with what I received as well as the price: http://www.20thstree...ar302/index.htm

I had the radiator replaced in my 968 last year while I was doing the water pump (it was "gone") and all the coolant hoses. I would NOT recommend going with "used" because the rad has plastic headers. With time, the seams between the plastic parts and the metal start to "weep"; that's what happened on mine. Then it is only a matter of "when" it starts to leak. A "used" one may be OK for while, but it is still ~ 20 years old!

Go "new" for the extra few dollars and have peace of mind for another 20 years! (at least for THAT part) <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

i second what Jake said above -- just went thru the same thing on my manual coupe -- first it was the water pump and hoses which needed to be replaced, then the heater control valve started leaking (forgot to order new one when water pump was replaced..), and then 2 months later the plastic fittings on the radiator gave out and had to replace the radiator... after looking at the old radiator and how it failed, i'd defintiely go with a new one if I were you. Anything original that's rubber or plastic is living on borrowed time on cars like these -- 'of a certain age'
