aluminium and plastic radiator repair

Oct 23, 2010 2 Replies

Is it possible to repair an aluminium cored, plastic header radiator that's leaking at the bottom crimped seal? It's on a Suzuki Vitara 1600 and this is only a 2 year old replacement rad.

Probably not in any meaningful long-term-effective way.

You poor sod.

Complain to the supplier. SOGA, merchantable quality, etc.

If it's actually at the seal then your nearest serck marston might fit you a new seal & recrimp it. If it's the aluminium core leaking then it recoring it's generally cheaper than fixing it.
