i used a bottle in the corsa few weeks back.
wish i hadn't !

can't remember if it was radweld or barrs leaks, but it didn't fix shit. had a hole in my radiator and another random leak from somewhere else. neither was cured, but everything got covered in crap.
header tank is full of gunk. hoses are all full of gunk. carried on leaking so there's gunk all over the drive, gunk all over the road outside a couple of mates houses, and gunk in the car park at work.

horrible stuff. fix the leak more conventionally.
is it defo the radiator? there's loads of other possibilities of where you could have sprung a leak from.

You could try the old egg trick :lol:

How much is a new rad for yours?
My mate broke one of the rads on his motox bike and it was over £300 for a new one, he got it rebuilt for just over £100 at a radiator place near me.

personally rad weld is shit.

its gunks up the water ways in the engines coolent system

id use it on a shit old car
but not a decent one

find out tomorrow

gotta do around 30-50 miles, so if ya see a post saying 'just fried engine' it didnt work, and i have a few K rebuild :lol::lol:

drive down to the shop , get back home , pour it in and leave it?

Use the rad off a 1.2 8v they're the same :|

:lol:

No a non turbo should be the same i would imagine

btw, i didnt mean pour it in when cold, i put it in when warm, then drove home steady, but got told it needs to cool down to set :|

new radiator on a corsa, yes, not alot

new radiator on a gt4 = ££££££££££ :lol:

You have to have a warmish engine as far asi know for it to set... boiling fucks it up and when it's cold it just sits in the bottom of the rad...

In my opinion the stuffs shite... better off buying a new radiator..

take top off and pour it in :lol:


just been told that you have to leave the system to cool down for it to set, is this true? :S


Modded, its deffo water, as its spraying onto the underside of bonnet somehow :S

where does the rad weld stuff go ??? i know radiator but how does it get in there ? lol

The hole could be to big to be sealed with radweld

any oil dripping onto your exhaust:boggle:

only other thing i cud think of:wave:

how long does it take to work? is it suppose to work in a few mins, or does it take a while?

ive driven around 6 mile after putting it in (15 mins or so), and still getting steam from engine bay from somewhere,
