Acquiesce and use it. I'm wondering where did that wrong shape come from [maybe some very early audi ], but nissens should be the best in that wrong shape anyway. My A90q previously had Valeo in the same shape, currently it has thermotec, I dunno, is it polish or chinese, in any case, cheap crap, but works nicely, apart from small seepage experienced once. I found that this shape isn't what it should be when I accidentally saw behr radiator in junkyard - then I finally understood why my overflow tank bottom hose is barely long enough.

I actually doubt that Behr 5 pot radiators are currently manufactured - for example, trusted parts supplier, who orders parts straight from manufacturers said half a year ago that he's unable to order Behr made in france B3/B4 heater matrix, only made in china - and behr heater matrix IS the thing to have.
