I'm on my second GDI, the first one delivered about three years ago rattled like heck when delivered, sent it back, replacement somewhat less quiet but held up fine, even though both filler necks were cocked about 5*-10*'s.
Just installed new fac. 'stat, NAPA w/p and f/c, less prestone in mix (40/60) and water wetter made a noticable reduction in temps. Hoses on order from dealer, like to replace bearings on idler pulleys, but that's another thread.
Last thing is the radiator, found a thread on radiators from a
search, many posters mentioned that Modine is now part of GDI (quality waning further), and the parts guy at NAPA said the Modine has plastic tanks. The thread also mentioned that there are all-metal Modines to be found.
Through process of elimination was leaning towards CSF, but would like to find the former if possible.
Does anyone have any more knowledge on the Modine plastic/metal tank question?!?
thanks,
