Radiator is leaking somewhere

[McPikie]

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Just been parked up at my mates, came out after 10 mins to a trail of water coming from the front of the car. I've smelt it and it is coolant.

However, it looks to be coming from the bottom passenger side, but I can't really see the rad, being dark and all.

How much is a new rad gonna rape me for, and how mych of a pain in the arse are they to fit?


Bleeding clio always knows when it's pay day :evil:

more likley to be a pipe/connection than rad, investigate fiorst before jumping to conclusions.

TBH sounds more like water pump than anything else

My bottom radiator hose only has to be disturbed a little bit and it starts leaking quite a lot. As Lunner says, i'd check all the pipes before buying anything..

Isn't the water pump on the cambelt side??

That was changed when the HG and cambelt were done

[Coops]

yeah water pump is cam belt side so wont be that, rads a piece of piss to do, remove slam panel and brackets, undo all hoses from it and it just lifts out, careful tho cuz theres 2 little rubber spacers on the bottom that tend to drop off so keep an eye out for em!

Mine went on Christmas day, no fecking suppliers open til 3 days later! :roll: Mine had leaked a little from the rad' therostat, bottom hose, then a corner corroded and it dropped the lot. The liquid collects and can run along the beam below the rad', so it can be a challenge to see where its coming from.

Yeah woops, my bad :oops:
