Hi, I recently swapped my 4 Cyl. 1.6 for a V6 K8 and I my 1.6 Radiator is less then a year...

And I picked up the Electric fan from the v6 (bigger)

My questions are :

Can my 1.6 rad. cool my 1.8 enough?
My inlet and outlet on the 1.6 rad. are inverted compare to the 1.8 (driverside at the bottom and the pass side at the top) can it still work?

In short, do I really have to buy a new radiator???

Thanks in advance

Coolant capacity
I4 -> 6.3 Qts
V6 -> 7.9 Qts

Probably some of that extra coolant stays in the engine - so i am guessing the radiator capacities will be more or less the same.
