⚡ At a Glance
  • Cooling Performance: Mechanically joined cooling fins with an approximate 560mm core length and 470mm mesh width for effective heat dissipation
  • Best for: Owners of Primastar, Vivaro and Trafic II 1.9L or 2.0L vans with manual transmissions seeking a direct replacement radiator
  • Not ideal for: Vehicles that require an integrated engine oil cooler, transmission oil cooler, or automatic transmission variants

Replacement radiator sized with a net length of approximately 560mm and a net depth of approximately 23mm. Designed for manual-transmission 1.9L and 2.0L Primastar, Vivaro and Trafic model variants.


Improved heat transfer – thanks to mechanically joined cooling fins

Cooling fins are mechanically joined, forming a continuous fin field across the mesh width and core length, increasing surface area in contact with moving air. Net length is approximately 560mm with a net depth of approximately 23mm, supporting a broad heat-exchange area.

More consistent engine temperatures during sustained driving, reducing the likelihood of overheating under load.

Direct fitment to multiple van codes – with OEM reference numbers provided

Compatibility lists include Primastar X83, Vivaro A E7/X83/J7/F7 and Trafic II JL/FL/EL for 1.9L and 2.0L engines, plus reference numbers such as 2140000QAN, 2140000QAS, 4414161 and 7700312899.

Fewer compatibility checks at the garage and a higher chance of a bolt-on replacement when OEM numbers match the original radiator.

Simpler installation for matched systems – with no integrated oil coolers

Supplementary Article notes specify absence of an engine oil cooler and absence of a transmission oil cooler, indicating a plain-core radiator design without additional cooler ports.

Quicker swap for vehicles that originally used a radiator without oil coolers, avoiding extra hose connections or adapter work.
