Some S4s had it on the top/middle of the radiator, and all S5s had it on the extended neck near the battery.

And the problem is? Lots of S4s have it on the thermostat cover. There are a couple different OEM S4 radiators.

Pick up a koyo or similar aluminum radiator and be done with it. You'll need a S4 (86-88) specific model, just dont throw away anything off your old radiator in case you need to supply mounting gear.
