Isn't that just a temporary fix though?.

Ive seen radiator selant lasting 5 years,

[Harkus]

Hmmm think ill try that first then. .

[johnny]

Yeah its alot cheaper lol it only works on small holes though

I wouldn't use rad weld its brown sludge nasty crap. I hated putting it in mine.looked like chocolate milkshake in the coolant for months untill I flushed it all out again. I highly recommend a product called Steal seal. Works wonders where all other products fail ! I had a nightmare on my engine with coolant leak even after a head gasket rebuild this is the only thing that solved it all at the end never had to top up my coolant since going on a solid year or more now.

[Harkus]

Hmm it only does head gasket repairs not radiators

It works on anything really, it is the dearest but is the best, we use it a fair bit at work

Go for it its cheap enough and has plenty of good reviews, if it doesnt work id try steel seal

[Harkus]

Yeah hoping it works other wise it's going to cost me £60.55 for a new radiator.

Now I'm assuming the front one is the air con one and the back one is the radiator it's self?.

Ok so went to Halfrods this afternoon and bought some flush and rad seal:



Ok as your all aware I'm not a mechanic I'm just the Valeter, so popped to see my mate who works in a local garage by me and two opinions later I was told not to flush the system because it can make the leak worse (not really sure how as your clearing it out) and to put the seal strait in.

So I did as advised and put it in the tank, let it run for 15 minutes on tick over, turned it off for 5 minutes then took it for a drive. Touch wood it's cured the leak as i can't find any water and the expansion tank is still full ,

[johnny]

Did you leave it running after the run as most leaks only happen when hot, i would have flushed it but everyone has different views on flushing a car

[Harkus]

Yeah left her running for another 5-10 mins and no leak that I could see of .

[gazza_no7]

Exactly what they said to me! Told not to flush it and just to put rad weld straight in

[Harkus]

Well it's held awesome been out in her all night and its all cured
