Good morning lads I bought a new radiator a spurious one that the supplier says is the correct one.The problem is looking from the front right everything looks o.k.on left bottom hose side there are two other connections that are not on the rad.I am taking out is it the wrong rad .or do you just blank them off. Thank you lads George.

As I understand it you have two connectors on bottom left of your existing radiator which are not one the new one.  If so new radiator is not correct for your car.  These connectors are for built in auto box oil cooler - HTH

Hello DBUG ,The new radiator has on the rh.side top hose and two sensors the left hand side has bottom hose and two other connections one above the bott.hose connection and one below.The radiator coming out does not have any holes other than the bottom hose connection on that side.Thanks George.

Is your can an auto mate?

Just connect up the water hoses and ignore the other holes.  No need to block them or anything, they're a separate little 'circuit' that just won't be used if you don't need it.  Had the same doubts when I got a new rad for our 2.0.

Good morning dBUG thanks for the reply yes the car is a 2.2 auto.it has a smaller rad in between the two other rads when I disconnected it to get the rad out it looked like it had trans.fluid in it.Thanks George .

It sounds like your car came out of the factory with the upgraded Tans Cooler which is the small rad with red fluid in it.

The new rad you have, take it its a pattern one, will have been listed as an auto as 99% of autos Omegas had the trans oil cooler as part of the rad.

As already mentioned just bung the holes up in the new rad to stop any crap getting in. Its a sealed section so it won't leak
