and this one:
->With double thermocontact

And what about this?

[fcc-pt]

In here http://seekpart24.com/opel/omega-b-estate-21-22-23-94/3-0-v6-8/radiator-100103

As I thought it's for the switches in the end of the radiator that turn the fans on/off for both engine cooling & also the fan for the air con.
The description is not very clear, but I would think that it's saying that there is room for two thermostatic switches - which is what you need for you car.

Well I thought I just had to match:
->Transmission Type: For automatic transmission
->Vehicle Equipment: For vehicles with air conditioning

I saw that  :-/ ..... I thinks it's lost something in the translation  :-/
I think it's trying to say two ie double thermostatic switches ..... a switch could maybe also be called contacts

Correct. An auto needs the cooler in the side (your passenger side) of the rad. A car with air con needs to be fitted with two thermostatic switches.

So what's the difference between the extra expensive and the most affordable radiators? Besides the obvious...

I really don't know  :-/ Maybe you should email them  :-/

Different manufacturer = different prices. You`re dealing with the distributor

What about a second hand radiator?? I have one here in very good condition from a 99 elite 3.0v6 with climate...would it be a direct replacement?? Certainly cheaper plus genuine part Just a thought

Edit...although just noticed its an Opel...where are you based?

[fcc-pt]

I don't know,  never installed second hand stuff in my car...
Yes it's a direct replace
I'm in Portugal!
Anyway thank you very much for the proposal.

It's a really difficult job... I've been through a hell just to extract the old one! Many vacuum hoses, and sensor wires Till now I had to extract the air filter enclosure the intake pipe bags the battery! I believe that the fan should be left with the radiator and then when taken it's easier to reassemble in the new radiator. I will keep this update Cheers.

Ok, so mission accomplished! The radiator has been placed without any further problems. Unless I don't consider a small leak lol .

Both temperature sensor and fan switch are leaking a bit when under pressure.
How can I seal those leaks? Thank you guys.

I just want to advise all the guys that are in the same boat as I was about a small issue that might come along... when place the automatic gearbox tubes don't forget to place them with a small copper washer, and continue to tighten until it stops leaking otherwise oil pressure will leak for sure till there's no oil in the gearbox.

After tighten the screws, start the engine and get over the radiator and check for oil leaks, if it's leaking than you might have to tighten the screws a little more. It's not an easy job for a noob.

Cheers...
