About this product

When radiator performance matters, the HART 600 021 delivers — built to the same dimensional and material standards as the original part it replaces. The part is built to the following specification: Core Length [mm]: 430 mm, Core Width [mm]: 320 mm, Core Depth [mm]: 32 mm. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with VW vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 171.121.253 CF, 171.121.253 CJ. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. HART is a recognised supplier of automotive replacement components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe. All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops. If fitment or specifications do not match your vehicle, our technical team can help identify the correct alternative — use the vehicle selector or contact us with your VIN for a guaranteed-fit recommendation. Replacing worn components on schedule preserves your vehicle's safety, reliability, and resale value — and aftermarket parts from established brands deliver OEM-equivalent performance at a fraction of the dealer price. Every part is dispatched from our UK warehouse with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free hassle-free returns.

Radiator buying guide

Why replace this part?

The radiator dissipates engine heat by transferring it from coolant to the air. A leaking or clogged radiator causes engine overheating, which can result in catastrophic engine damage including warped heads and blown gaskets.

Signs you need a replacement

  • Coolant leaks or puddles under the car
  • engine overheating
  • discoloured or rusty coolant
  • visible corrosion or damage to radiator fins
  • steam from under the bonnet

When to replace

Typically lasts 8–10 years. Replace when leaks develop or internal blockages cause overheating. Flush cooling system every 5 years.

Installation difficulty:Moderate — requires basic tools and mechanical knowledge
