About 2 weeks ago, I finished my install of the Rabbit Radiator, actually it is a brand new Golf/Caddy Ute Radiator, this unit is even larger than the standard Rabbit unit.
Had to make a custom pipe for the bottom pipe, top one was fine. Installed the Rabbit Expansion bottle, have a 8mm pipe running from the top bleed extrusion on the radiator to the expansion tank and then a 16mm pipe to the back of the GX Head. There is a T piece that also feed the heater unit.
What is weird to me, is the fact that when I'm driving on the highway the needle goes up to just before the H stripe, when you stop at a robot or enter the town area, the needle starts to drop.
A few things that I may need to look at: 1. Install a heat gauge that shows degrees Celsius, then I'll at least now what temp it is running, since I have a new temp sender unit in that shows a little to hot on the gauge due to a internal resistance difference. 2. My bottom pipe from the expansion bottle need to join the cooling system at a different location.
