Default will a M6 rad. fit a A4 car?

I now have only a extrenal Trans. fluid cooler for a A4 car (I plugged the rad trans. coolant lines).
why let the rad heatup my trans. fluid right.

I'm thinking now that when I need to replace the rad just use the manuel M6 type rad. will this fit a A4 car?

I'm also thinking there cheaper since they don't cool trans. fluid.+ no plugs.

Thanks

Sure will fit. The only difference is the tranny cooler. Other than that they are identical. I run an external cooler so I bought the one for the m6 when I replaced my radiator. Best part is its cheaper without the tranny cooler.

Dude there are zillion different places that make them for our cars. When I was looking online I found a place that had one shipped to your door for $150. Just do a google search and look around.

Look smartass what do you think I'm giving you but first hand feedback. If you wanna pay $500 for a radiator then by all means do so. But I payed $130 to have new tanks put on mine. You know what my cars runs driving down the highway with ac wide open? About 185 degrees in the middle of summer. Stuck in traffic with ac wide open and fan switch on it runs under 200 degrees. But by all means go buy a $500 radiator.
