Just wanting to know is the radiators the same or different on the 1.4 and 1.6 TDCI fiesta engine, as I need a new radiator and have found a 1.6 one cheap. Thanks

They are the same on the current model Fiesta but different on the prior model (ST shape).

A 1.4 is no good for a 1.6 but a 1.6 is better for the 1.4 plus you can now plumb in the 1.6's intercooler to release some more power ;O)

How is the 1.6's radiator better than the 1.4's?!

And you won't get more power by simply plumbing in an intercooler to a 1.4, the engine will not inject any more fuel just because the intake temp is lower - it will just assume you are in a cold climate. The full load calibration will not change, it will just make the emissions different by lowering the combustion temperature.

I consider myself told.

That was my last suggestion/post on here.

I'm not going to get into a debate about a cooling pack.

Bye all
