s4 radiator in s5

I was wondering if any one has put the s4 radiator in the s5 and changed the theromstat housing to the s4 to have a rad. cap.

I could buy a new radiator but I have some good s4 parts. Cooling should be the same right, and the higher fill spot should be compritable to the s5 radiator.

YES I HAVE SEACHED

Technically speaking, you would never really want to swap any parts from an s4 to an s5, you know except differentials and **** like that or things that the s5 didnt come with....which isnt very much. If i were you i would just find an s5 radiator like the post above says, but if you are very very determined on putting an s4 radiator in ur s5 then i'm sure one of the rotary gods will tell you.

S4 and S5 have a different theromstat housing bolt pattern. You can make an adapter, it has been done.
