   I've got a Nissens radiator. Never had any over heating problems since.
   
   Pretty sure a vts rad is bigger or you could get a twin fan setup if you need more cooling. Most likely your current radiator is knackered and needs replacing.

   Nissens is the brand of radiator, they make replacement ones for saxos. A new vts rad should be up to keeping your engine cool

   You want a copper core radiator. Go to Citroen and ask for a vts or a deisel rad.
