Sounds like you are talking about the intercooler radiator. It sits down low on the passenger side right beside the cooling radiator, right? Harry '82 1.9TD...
Argh, sorry. I wrote "right" side, but I actually meant "left". The intercooler is definitely on the right (passenger) side, i'm looking for the thing with...
