Radiateur de moteur - 2.5 TD - 8140.27

[andrazzz]

Hello!

A while ago I promised you this.

After unsuccessful search for a reasonably priced new radiator I've done a research and found out that Mascott radiator is the most similar to the original.
So I have bought a new one on ebay.de:

Thermotec LHRP993-32MT
https://www.ebay.com/itm/154029539185?m ... gname=1140

Since my van is in Bishkek and I'm in Slovenia, I used all the drawings I could find on the web and drafted the adapter frame.
The frame is made from 4 laser cut pièces plus a few brackets.

I'd like to attach the dxf file if someone finds it useful but the system doesn't accept it. So if someone needs it, I can send it.

This is the result. I'll let you know how it fits when I fly to Bishkek in May :

Hi do you have some cad files of the frame to share with us ? Please or schématics ?

Excellent work indeed !

[andrazzz]

Thanks. Yes I have files dwg / dxf.
I wanted to upload them, but I get the message "Error Invalid file extension".
Any advice?

[Bastien]

No Problem just tell me what extensions we need to add in the admin interface. Thanks a lot for sharing that ! On what software we can open It ? FreeCad ? Fusion360 ? It'had just add dwg and dxf is there more extensions ?

[andrazzz]

I drafted it in Autocad - that's the "dwg" file.
Then I exported it to "dxf" file which is used by most of the laser cut and cnc software.
Maybe someone should add a few words in French, so everyone can find it

Ton radiateur est-il équipé d'un raccord pour la sonde de température qui commande l'embrayage magnétique du ventilateur ?

I still can't add the "dxf" file

The location for the température sensor is on the left side. Therefore original two wires need to be extended.

Ok i'll see that later on, as soon i'am sure it's working i'll tell you.

[Bastien]

@andrazzz Now it's working ! You can put it !

[andrazzz]

Great. Thanks. I added it to the first post.

[Bastien]

Great. Thanks. I added it to the first post.

Thanks to you ! I hope it will be usefull to some people, which software do you recommande to edit the DXF file ?

[andrazzz]

Any kind of CAD software works. Autocad is one of the most popular. But there are also many free alternatives available on the web.

Hello!

I still owe you this. The radiator fitted perfectly. We just had to take two pins off the old one and weld them onto the new adapter. One of the wires for the température sensor had to be extended, and we had to shorten one of the coolant hoses. It was an easy job.

If I had the radiator at home, I would reinforce it a little more at the bottom, but I'm very satisfied with it anyway.

Cheers,
Andraz

Bonjour, est-ce que quelqu'un a essayé d'adapter le radiateur du mascott vendu sur ebay, dans le cadre d'un vieux radiateur de B ? Parce que c'est clairement pas à la portée de tout le monde réaliser un nouveau cadre à la découpe laser . En tout cas merci pour ce sujet qui va dans le bon sens pour économiser quelques euros
Est-ce qu'on peut obtenir les dimensions du radiateur du mascott pour voir si c'est réaliste de l'insérer dans le cadre d'origine du B? Merci beaucoup
