Angry Radiator blew up.

I was on the way home from lunch, and as near as I can figure, by relay for my e-fans failed, and the fans stopped. I always watch my temp gage, but it was only about half way. Next thing I know...BAM! All this steam starts pouring out of the engine bay. This is the second time I have had an underhood explosion, so I am getting a little gun-shy. I looked at the radiator, and the plastic part by the upper water outlet has a 3 inch long by 1/2 inch section completely MISSING out of it. I found the peice later on. WTF?

Does anyone know where to get a better relay? How about radiators, any for sale?

I guess karma has it out for me today....

Edit: Will an S5 radiator fit in an S4?

I am assuming that you have a 5-sp, but if not, I have a good used auto radiator for sale.

I am not totally sure of the possibly differences in the two, so don't ask me. I am parting out a 88 SE automatic.

$50 + shipping? PM me
