Leaky Radiator

Post by t513 »

Hi guys,

I've had a leaky radiator for a couple of days now, used some radweld earlier and it still didn't fix it. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing it? I'll try to get a picture up but it's at the very top of the radiator.

NC23, but I've managed to repair it with petro putty, but I will look into one of the £40 Chinese rad's, I also need a new fan, mine is completely dead :(

clean the hole with brake cleaner,, some 400 wet and dry to rought it up, then cover in Araldite .. job done, fixed many that way. leave to cook for a day in your house.. then fit.
