spud murphy Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Was all going so well, I know I SHOULD have removed the bleeder. Slipped whilst removing crank seal and have now ruptured one of the horizontal cooling channels. Anyone had a radiator repaired before, any tips or wrinkles that have worked for you??? Anyone gota spare/scrapper?? Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Been there, done that on a Vauhall Astra (I accidentally trod on the rad). Nip the horizontal pipe closed where it's leaking and add K-Seal to the cooling system, start the engine and watch the leak stop. Amazing stuff - the leak was a very fine needle jet, and I watched it slow to a drip and then stop completely within less than 5-minutes. Well worth the near-£10 price tag for it. I did this almost 2-years ago and the rad is still fine and leak free. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You can only get it from Chemists (wear a dirty mac as a disguise ) - oh wait a minute - wrong stuff! Most motor factors sell it. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
