radiator question

so i have an s5 vert and i ned a new radiator. the only radiators around here that ppl have are s4. from what one person has told me is if i dont change the filler neck, water pump and housing, and clutch fan then it will not cool correctly and can cause air bubbles.
thoughts, comments???

the filler neck on a s4 is 2 bold and the one on a s5 is 3 bolt and uses an o-ring if i remember correctly. so you would need the whole s4 water pump housing and everything to make an s4 rad. work. I would say to look in the for sale section and see if you can get a cheap s5 rad. shipped tou you from someone on here

Textlish! Learn punctuation, spelling and sentence structure! Sheesh!

Learn the language, English is your friend.
Learn the language and to use it well.
Learn the language you will then be able to afford any radiator you want!

This sad situation is an unintended consequence of the Texting of America.

BTW, RadiatorBarn.com is the sh*t for cheap radiators with fast delivery.
