Mine is the same size.
I have the APD one - probably just a VW item or similar.

No issues in traffic - but fan does stay on for longer.
On regular trackdays wit a cooling down lap - no issues.

Only issue i have had was after a lap at the ring where you often end up in heavy traffic after the lap. Fan could not keep up.
I normally use Motul water wetter which does lower temps by approximately 5-10deg. but did'nt on the trip to the ring.
I even use a bigger Pacet fan. 2 fans might be the solution.

I am thinking of having a thicker on made using a better core and with the water connections in the correct positions.

I have fitted a mk2 golf gti 16v radiator which runs a thicker core than the one most use but I have yet to test it yet :D
