Welcome back to the forums,

As you already posted an Intro three years ago, I've moved your question from New Member Area - Intro a MUST to X308 forum. This is the place to post technical questions about your model.

First and foremost you shouldn’t compare your car to another car. You bought an X308 car, not an X100/X103 car. You have many choices to get an X308 radiator instead of rigging in the wrong radiator. Besides, that part number you posted for a X100 car is an aftermarket POS radiator. It’s way less efficient than the original one for that car.

Car-part.com has a multitude of X308 cars listed all over the USA. I’m positive you can find a good used radiator.

If you do your research, maybe there is a radiator repair shop somewhere within reason??

I know that Wizard cooling up in NY can recreate your radiator as well.
