Can someone explain why there are two versions of radiator (part no. 181097) and why they have the same part number when they are totally different? My Gransport is a UK import to Australia. I sourced a new radiator because of gradually worsening coolant leak. I sourced a replacement radiator from Europe. Booked my car in to get the radiator replaced. Removed radiator ok. Opened box, to find the wrong radiator - I think the USA part. Even worse, a couple of the pipes had broken in transit! So had to purchase a new one from Sydney Maserati for $1100, which is twice as much as I paid for the imported part but hopefully it will be the right one and intact.
So part number alone is not sufficient. Must make sure it is for the right region of the planet too. And must open the box as soon as it arrives. Lesson learnt.
