Pointy weeping radiator
Hi,
Over the last couple of days I have noticed my radiator is weeping from some where, not sure where, it isn't easy to spot. Would you lot suggest radweld or somewhere in Sheffield area that can repair it? Too skint for a new/used one. In the mean time I am carrying round a bottle of antifreeze mix to top before my next ride to/from work. It isn't a spurt, just a drip every couple of seconds and only during/after a ride, is this a bad idea? **EDIT** Could a mod correct my title please? |

Nip up the jubilee clips first it may be coming from where the hoses meet the rad

I will give that a bash, some of the fins are wet so I just assumed it was in that general area. Cheers

5 spots went damp around the same time :(

Re: Ponity weeping Radiator
Assuming those 5 spots are all separate on the rad core, and water isn't flowing along the back to emerge at 4 or 5 places at the front, I'd take that as a fairly clear indication that the radiator is past saving.
Aaron & Delkevic both make replacement rads that I suspect are cheaper than OE as listed in that other thread. That's what I'd do. I'm sure you could use radweld, and maybe it would work for a while, but I really dislike products that work in that fashion as they're blunt tools that could end up gumming up coolant passages if you got unlucky. You're going to have to replace it anyway, just bit the bullet and do it now. Jambo |
