    Default radiator upper pipe broken

    I've seen the thread already where other members have had issues of the upper radiator rube has snapped off. well i bought a new radiator to put in but the invoice says its for the 3.6L engine.... my wifes car is a 2009 g8 gt.

    my question is will the v6 radiator fit in the gt and function properly?

    The V8 and V6 radiators are completely different parts. From this pic from the owner's manual you can see how the pressure cap is part of the radiator itself on the V8 models, while the V6 models have the pressure cap at the engine.



    I believe the correct part number for the V8s is 92234040.

    I would assume so. What's the part number that you have?
