MK4 Radiator

[Papa]

My radiator has sprung a leak and FFR doesn't have any to sell. If you have one you aren't using, please PM me.

Thanks,
Dave

Papa Dave,

Check with Speedway motors if you can't find one from a F5 Family Members.
They've got all sorts of goodies.

Summit Racing or Jegs may be an option too.
Good Luck!

Dave,
Check back with FFR; although the parts catalog on the website may not show current stock they got over 400 delivered last week.

EDIT: Oops! Seems that I missed Mike's comment saying the same thing

[Papa]

Thanks! I'll call them today.

How long on average is it taking folks to get a return call after leaving a message in the "parts" voice mail box?

FWIW, Dave S said on Facebook he's directed his team to only focus on backorder (POL) shipments through Christmas. Hopefully I got that right. So new parts orders won't be shipping for a bit. Even if/when you get through. I'm personally waiting for the replacement windshield for my Coupe. They have it but hasn't shipped and apparently won't quite yet.

[Papa]

I saw the announcement on the parts catalog website about shipping, but would at least like to get the part ordered. Is there a specific replacement radiator that will fit if I can't get one from FFR? I also ordered some epoxy to try to temporarily stop the leak until I can get a new one in the car.

Dave,
Theoretically you can use a Mustang radiator and cap it but that would require a rework of your hoses, shroud and RH “F” panel. In other words you’re better off waiting…

I thought that may be the case. Thanks, Jeff.

Ordered mine this summer and finally got it last week. They are getting some in from the supplier!

Called and left a message in their parts order voice mail box on Monday; still waiting for a call back. I know they are busy and trying to fill back orders, but I'd sure like to get this ordered soon. All calls are being routed to voice mail, so I can't even talk to someone. It's frustrating, and so unlike the Factory Five experience I've come to expect. I hope they can get ahead of these parts issues soon.

Shoot an email also Dave. I know that out of 40 employees 6 people (including 2 tech and sales guys)are out this week…most due to COVID exposure .

I know they're swamped. I will just be patient and let them try to get caught up. I just needed to vent a bit.

Jeff,

I don't know if you had anything to do with it, but I was just contacted by FFR and have a radiator on order! It won't ship for a couple of weeks, but at least I know I'll have one soon.
