Driving 3 hours with a crack in the radiator?

I believe rolandrolandroland was on a trip home with a 1994 940 cracked radiator. I'm don in orlando with a 1995 that is thankfully close to home. No eggs required!

I finally decided on the Nissen Aluminum and plastic. From all reports it is a quality replacement product.

I was a bit surprised how much prices could vary from website to website! I've gotten good service and prices from eEur>

However, theirs was a puncture in the core. Cracks are normally in the tanks; the only two I've dealt with were on the top of the radiator where the egg wouldn't reach anyway. (Volvo 765T and Honda Accord)

Yes, the tanks are usually the part to go. And the ones I've seen developed a crack right where the inlet pipe protrudes from the tank. A tight right-angle bend is a perfect place for a crack to start.

yea, i used some of the "liquid metal" from auto zone and fixed a crack near the top inlet pipe...it actually has lasted over a year now....i was just going to replace the unit a week or two later...but let ot slide.......this on a 93 940t...i guess i should go ahead and swap out the unit b4 it pops some day.....

are usually the part to go. And the ones I've seen

months then suddenly let go with a gush of hot coolant all over the road.
