Looking at those chassis numbers, I would think it's the cut-off between EU2 and EU3 vehicles, i.e. when they changed the injection pressure, put a cat on and a few other bits. I think the easiest way to tell is to see how many actuators are on your EGR valve - 1 actuator it's the older version, 2 actuators it's the newer one. Although it depends how complete your engine retrofit was - i.e. were all the ancillaries transplanted too. Only you know how old the engine is.
A word of warning though - I put a Paddocks radiator in my old Td5 and it started leaking after 6 months  |

I was thinking the same thing,
I thought that it might be something to do with having a fuel cooler, which mine has. It's a pain in the backside not having the correct chassis number. If I could work out what the differences were between the two radiators then at least I could compare it to whats in there at the moment. Dave |

If your rad has sprung a leak, why not get it recored? When my 300TDI rad needed renewing it was cheaper for an uprated recore rather than a new rad from all the usual suspects. 110 D250 SE HT
110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

Re-coring was mentioned as a suggestion in the link I posted too. Walfy's right! Be cheaper than a new rad and you'd not have compatability issues with fitment.  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

In process of fitting new rad from Craddock who said there was only one. Mine is 03 td5 90. Was nervous as I'd been told that there were two and my car is on the change date!! New one is identical to old so ok.
