Used Truck Radiators & Engine Cooling Modules

Used truck radiators & engine cooling modules for European HGVs

Radiators and complete cooling modules are core elements of the engine cooling system on any heavy truck. Their job is to transfer heat from the engine coolant into the airflow passing through the front of the vehicle, helping to keep the engine within its designed operating temperature in traffic, on long motorway climbs and during heavy haulage work.

In this category we offer used OEM engine coolant radiators and cooling modules removed from complete donor vehicles. Typical examples include Behr/Mahle radiators for DAF XF106 Euro 6 with MX-11 and MX-13 engines, complete radiator assemblies for MAN TGX and coolant radiators for Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4/MP5 tractors and rigids.

What you will find in the Radiators category

Stock in the Radiators category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• engine coolant radiators with aluminium cores and plastic side tanks for modern European HGVs;
• complete radiator assemblies including core, tanks and mounting frame where supplied together;
• cooling modules where the main coolant radiator is integrated with the charge air cooler and sometimes the A/C condenser;
• radiator units for Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines with different layouts and connection types;
• selected associated cooling components such as fan blades or collars when they are listed with the radiator assembly.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details, so you can compare core size, tank layout, hose connections and mounting points with the radiator fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most radiators in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF series, such as XF106 Euro 6 radiators for MX-11 and MX-13 engines;
• MAN TGS and TGX long-haul and construction trucks with Behr/Mahle cooling modules;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros MP3, MP4 and MP5 tractors and rigids with plastic-tank radiators;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage trucks;
• other brands such as Scania and Iveco when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM parts removed from complete vehicles, each radiator or cooling module is tied to a specific engine family, Euro emission class and front-end layout, which is important for correct fit and cooling performance.

Why truck radiators & cooling modules matter

A correctly functioning radiator is essential for everyday operation of a working HGV:

• Engine protection – efficient heat exchange helps prevent overheating, cracked cylinder heads and head gasket failures;
• Fuel economy & emissions – keeping the engine within its target temperature range supports clean combustion and stable emission control performance;
• Uptime & reliability – a healthy cooling system reduces unplanned roadside stops, workshop time and recovery costs;
• Drivetrain compatibility – radiators are often specified differently for manual/automatic transmissions or for trucks with and without factory air conditioning.

Typical reasons to replace a truck radiator

Common reasons to order parts from this category include:

• coolant leaks from cracked plastic tanks, damaged hose necks or corroded cores;
• bent fins or damaged cores after stone strikes, front-end impacts or previous poor repairs;
• internal blockages caused by corrosion products or incorrect coolant mixtures;
• overheating or poor cooling performance despite working fan and thermostat;
• replacing a non-original or undersized unit with the correct OEM radiator for your engine and truck model.

How to choose the correct radiator or cooling module

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the right cooling performance, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and generation – for example DAF XF105/XF106, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4;
• engine type and displacement – such as MX-11, MX-13, OM470, OM471 and corresponding Euro emission standard;
• transmission & equipment – manual vs automatic gearboxes and whether the truck has factory air conditioning can change the radiator specification;
• core dimensions – overall height, width and thickness of the radiator core and position of mounting points;
• tank layout & connections – number and position of hose outlets, bleed points, sensor ports and transmission cooler connections (if fitted);
• OEM part numbers stamped on the tanks, frame or data label of your original radiator, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing radiator and cooling module. Our team can help confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM radiators from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that engines and cooling systems can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove the radiators and cooling modules, check tanks, cores and mounting frames for visible damage, and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable radiators are drained, cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.

If you are repairing or upgrading the cooling system on your truck, you may also want to browse:

• Fans & Shrouds – radiator fans, viscous fan hubs and fan shrouds that pull air through the radiator;
• Hoses, Clamps & Fittings – radiator hoses, heater pipes and associated clamps and fittings;
• Other Engine Cooling – expansion tanks, link rods and other cooling hardware around the module;
• Intercoolers – charge air coolers that often sit in the same cooling pack as the radiator;
• Engines & Components – complete engines and related components that depend on a healthy cooling system.

Delivery, payment & returns

Most truck radiators and cooling modules are shipped as well-packed palletised items with tracked delivery across the UK and EU. For details of available services, transit times and costs, please see our Delivery & Shipping page.

Information about payment methods, VAT handling and returns is available on Payment & VAT and Returns & Refunds. If you need to combine radiators with fans, hoses or other engine parts for the same vehicle, our team will be happy to help you build a complete order.
