konig209 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 521 and 510 are the same radiator. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 My understanding is the 510 radiator will fit, but is not the same Quote Link to comment
iCruZ Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 would it need any kind of changing in order for the 510 radiator to function Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Well ive put in a 510 same fit everything no issues i think only differences are 2-3 row Quote Link to comment

iCruZ Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 yeah the weight of the radiator.. its for the shipping costs info for ups Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 If the 510 rad fits then the '77 VW Rabbit rad should also. Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 521 and 510 are the same radiator. I believe the water ports are in different positions forcing you to use a super long hose that crosses in front of the fan. and the cap is in the center on the 510 while on the side for the 521.

konig209 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Nope same side for 521 and 510 im tellin you used the same hoses and all Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 why would they be different,the L16 is not different in the 521 versus the 510,at least for were the water hoses hook up to. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I believe that in general, they are the same radiators, the only thing that might be different is the mount brackets on the sides, and that might be the same also, I bought a 510 radiator a while back, it looked to be the same as my 521 radiator, but I did not mount it, it just sits in it's box till I need it. The cap is in a slightly different place, but otherwise it should work. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Early L16 620 rads have the inlet on the right that later moved to the left side. I wouldn't let a rad hose stop me. L16 521s have inlet on left, 510s are on the right. Part numbers are close but not the same. Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Nope same side for 521 and 510 im tellin you used the same hoses and all L16 521s have inlet on left, 510s are on the right. Part numbers are close but not the same. D-Mike for the PWN!!! Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Then how come 2 out of my 4 radiators came off a 510 and put onto my 521 with no issues? 1 Quote Link to comment
