   I have a mk1 vtr and a mk1 vts. can i swap the radiators around and both cars still be ok on cooling/ fitting radiators? thanks
   
   so in other words is it ok for:
   
   a vtr to have a vts radiator
   a vts to have the slightly smaller vtr radiator (will it overheat)?

   yes you can and you need to swap the bottom hoses too. in the winter the vts will be fine with the vtr rad in these temps any ways but in the summer it will overheat a lot.
