Product Description
The Arrowhead Mounting Radiator Upper is designed to securely hold your vehicle’s radiator in position, helping to prevent vibration and potential damage during everyday driving. This mounting bracket is a vital component in the MOUNTINGS RADIATOR MOUNTING system, ensuring your radiator remains properly aligned and supported under the bonnet. Its robust moulded structure with integrated bushings provides reliable cushioning and stability, especially on rough South African roads.
This part is suitable for select Audi and Volkswagen models. Common applications include various models such as the Audi A3, Q2, and TT, as well as popular Volkswagen vehicles like the Golf, Polo, Tiguan, Touran, and T-Roc. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
If you notice excessive radiator movement, rattling sounds from the engine bay, or coolant leaks near the radiator, the upper radiator mounting may be worn or damaged. Other signs include misaligned radiator positioning, increased engine vibration, or visible cracks in the mounting bracket. Addressing these symptoms promptly can help avoid further issues.
Replacing a worn radiator upper mounting is recommended if you observe any signs of wear, cracking, or if the radiator is not held firmly in place. It is an important step to maintain the integrity of your cooling system and prevent potential damage to the radiator or adjacent components.
