View Full Version : Hole in rad
Small hole in top of rad is letting air in to the system, and obviously draining the system to that point, about an inch down from the top of the rad, tis only a small hole.
Should I use rad weld on it? wud this damage anything else on my coolant system, and will it be ok for trackdays??
dont use rad weld
use Leak Fix, its a paste you mix like Chemical Metal, available from any Motor World, it will seal it proper mate from the outside and it wont leak at all, used this with my last car and it was brilliant
i wouldnt use that mate ive used it before and it dont last long cant be good for coolant system either
get a new rad. defo dont use radweld

Ive got a rad if you want it, good condition e.t.c
Tweeks do a product called quicksteel, its a putty you mould together similart to what brun suggested, personalyl i'd use a new/2nd hand rad tho
I ahve one you can have fro free, only prblem is its a bit bent and has a hole in it, not one at teh top tho ;)
R17398 RADIATOR CLIO MK1 16V 86.00
this is what i need i guess.... another kick in the teeth :shock:
