I have a 2005 C6 Z51 with MANY miles. I just noticed a sizzling sound on the front of the car and lo and behold I have a crack in my radiator.

My question is I found the ac delco replacement for $290, but there is mention of some "oil cooler" on another set that adds about $160 more.

The only thing cracked is my radiator unit itself, but do I have to change out an oil cooler as well when doing the swap?

Also how difficult is this?

Isn't there an oil cooler built into the radiator of automatics? I imagine those are more than for manuals.

If you have an A4 there is no oil cooler. If you have M6 there is.

Mine is a MN6 Z51. I think the radiator says 10353889

What does it mean with PACKAGING DAMAGED??? And "USED LIKE NEW"

I have gotten many bargains from Amazon Warehouse Deals. Boots, AV Receivers, Corvette parts.... This will probably be a brand new rad with a tear in the box, possibly a return.

10353889 crosses to a ac-delco 21539

Ok finally installed. TOOK Forever removing the old one (4 metal oil cooler lines), but once it was out, replacing with new, changing the thermostat and replacing the large in/out radiator hose + fill and purge took me about 2.5 hours.

Don;'t let the dealer rip you off. I replaced with OEM AC DELCO Radiator for 330 (expedited shipped) + Gates (large 2 hoses) ALL for <$400, and It only took me about 5 hours.

And I am am amateur mechanic.

The dealer quoted me $606 in Houston JUST FOR THE RADIATOR. He would have charged me aroun $1300 for this job.

THe Chevy Corvette Z51 uses 10353889 which is also ac-delco 21539.

I had to literally extract this information from my stupid dealer because they "Don't Give out part numbers"... B$.
