Paul Herts Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
