ALib Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi everyone, my car seems to have a slow leak between the core and the plastic top wall of the radiator. Do I have to replace the entire radiator? Where can I find one? I live in Sydney, Australia. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yes, replace the radiator is the best option. You could take it to a radiator shop, they may be able to stop the leak by crimping the metal clamp a little more and pressure testing it. There is a rubber gasket between the plastic tank and the core. I would think you could order a radiator online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 04 with original radiator? I'd replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Not worth trying to patch up a 12 year old radiator. New radiators are inexpensive in USA, would also think so in Australia. Rather easy to replace yourself with minimum tools and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
