Aluminium Radiator Leak and Options


Recommended Posts

Ive just pulled the Ali radiator from my 6 as the well around the bottom header was full of coolant.

 

Ill give it a wash tomorrow and once dry Ill try and find the leak but it looks like the epoxy compound to the fin header joint may have failed somewhere.

 

Options seem to be a new one which is expensive if you have a thermostat circa £400 (serck which my one looks like)

 

A repair by a specialist although one web site the repair at this joint can be difficult

 

Have a go at repairing myself, stic tite looks like it might flow well into the well.

 

I would rather stay with an ally rad

 

 

Any opinions or recommendations for a repairer in Herts or a reliable new rad option?

If you can confirm that it is a Serck radiator then it is worth approaching them. They have a serious concern for the quality of their products and they fixed a similar problem for me free.

Paul - have sent you a PM (personal message) - as a new member, if you are not sure what that is, look at the top right hand part of the forum page and you will see a red marker by an envelope - click on that and you will find any messages

 

As a matter of interest, whereabouts in UK are you?

cheers

Rich
