The old rad is gone, there was 2 issues with it. Being only single core it was not up to the job, and being a cross flow rad turned on its side meant it wasn't working properly.

DSG dual-clutch gearbox
The DSG dual-clutch gearbox, available in 6-speed and 7-speed versions, is unlike a conventional automatic transmission.
Two independent gearboxes are connected under load to the engine in turn, depending on the current gear, via two drive shafts. An output shaft assigned to each gearbox applies the torque to the driven wheels via the differential gear. Clutches and gearboxes are operated hydraulically by the gearbox mechatronics (a combination of mechanics and electronics). The electronic transmission control unit, sensors and hydraulic control unit form one compact unit. The control unit uses information such as engine speed, road speed, accelerator position and driving mode to select the optimum gear and to determine the ideal shift point. The control unit then implements the shift commands in a sequence of precisely co-ordinated actions. Each change takes less than four-hundredths of a second. DSG can be used manually, via the Tiptronic gear lever or the optional paddle shifts.

Isn’t it a bit heavy in a camper. Useful if you need to knock out some kebab skewers though
It's only 3.5 tons, so no worse than carrying a Harley...

Oh that’s ok. Just make sure the bike’s on the other side to balance it all out. Use the Commer for the corners and roundabouts and the Harley...........for making the skewers?
