Cracked radiator

**gamgam** · 09-10-2011 09:27 PM

Hey guys a while since my last post...

So my radiator has a crack it in somewhere and is leaking fluid. When I took it to Hanny's I got told I would need to get it replaced and that's gonna cost $400 for them to do it. I wanted to know a) does anyone know where I can get a cheaper one and b) is it ok for me to keep topping the fluid with deionised water until I get the new one.

Cheers

The crack is in the plastic end tanks. A radiator repair place will change these for about $200 I believe. Or you can try your luck with a Chinese made EBay sourced 3 core radiator. I have one and it's fine.

Hey gamgam,
agreed with AUS, I think it's common I had the same thing after i did a flush the bottom tank wasn't happy so I just replaced it for the $300 mark,

good luck!

Thought about this, how long does it take to come from China? and do you have any sellers you would recommend?

Hmmm interesting... would prefer a new one but how long have you had it, how much were you looking for and an est on shipping would be good
