So, I discovered yesterday that I probably need a new radiator for my
1998.5 A4 2.8 Quattro car (5-speed). I'm seeing red coolant along the
side of the radiator, the only place that's wet (no drips on the
ground, no wet hoses, water pump/timing belt/etc. replaced December
2002). What can I expect to pay for labor and parts, and can anyone
share cautionary tales I should heed?

I just had one put in my '99 for the same reason, but it was covered
under an extended warranty. The bill said $266.
