Hey,
I need to replace the engine radiator for my 2002 1.2 16V Fiat Punto
The Fiat OE reference is 46827081.
I ordered one from Hella, seemed to be a known brand, but it broke when fitting the fan and AC into into. The part where water circulates to exchange heat, came lose from the water reservoir. I thought maybe it was a manufacturing issue, so I ordered another one from Hella, but same issue.
I am entering a mix of despair and frustration with this radiator.
Can anyone offer any advice on this issue?

This is what happened to the radiator I got. It was from hella, ref. 8MK 376 787-091








Supposedly happened when he mechanic was attaching the fan, with the AC condenser already attached.

Any suggenstions of brand that I should look for?

Yes, the original one was from Valeo.
But according to Valeo this discontinued production.

Just a feddback on this.

I ended up finding a local supplier that still had Valeo in stock. Pretty happy with Valeo.
The one from Hella was incorrectly made, dimensions wise, it seems. Still waiting for the result of the warranty claim.
