After reading the posts on using above and having just blown my MK modified one ( the switch in the rad failed fortunately it blew at the weakest point. the rad core)
Any-one got any photos of how to mount the vw one , at present i have a nissan micra fan fitted between rad and chassis.

The Golf one is too big for some nosecones. I know cos I bought one then had to buy the smaller Polo rad...

Agree with Ben. The Golf is about 50mm wider.

I could only 'just' fit a Golf one in my GTS nose and that's cos the nose is set somewhat further forward than usual. That included chopping about 5mm off the bleed nipple aswell.

HTH,
