as above really spent to much money on my frontera already every now and again steam comes from the top edge of the rad would some stop leak really work >? and what would you use ?

crack 2 fresh eggs into the header tank works wonders.

 

Tony

try holts "radweld".

works wonders.

Tricky

 

"two eggs "

fook that but thanks !

 

i've used radweld as above and worked perfectly on my old s2, well not as perfectly as shelling out for a new rad but you get me

 

If the rad is metal use Kalimex K Seal

I never go anywhere without it

 

no its a modern plastic top thing

 

Kalimex Seal-Up then

Try Ebay or http://www.kalimex.co.uk/section.htm...=01.03.&pgid=2

 

how much does that stuff cost ?

 

What about turbocharged engines? Will it mess up the water cooling?

 

Online Ł8.95 I think.... or about Ł7.95 on Ebay Tony

 

cheeRS will look in to that you reckon it will work new rads about Ł80 just spen Ł321 today on it having lpg system sorted out

 

ALWAYS worked for me Tony I always carry K Seal in my kit as it has been known to fix cracked blocks, headgasket leaks etc etc. Only does its stuff when forced under pressure and in contact with air so should cause no problems Phil.

Worth a try i'd say

 

 

dont b cheap mate. i used radweld & my cossys now been off the road 4 3 years . it tends 2 block the rad so not much water can get through. my mate had the same problem with a car of his. in the long run its much cheaper 4 a recon/new rad. if u do use anything like radweld keep an eye on the temp gauge at ALL times.

 

DONT knock it till you've tried it m8. worked fine when I was stuck with a small hole in the rad

 

mate had a leek use two eggs and now the engine is noisey good cheap fix but get it sorted, buy a used rad from a xr3 from the breakers yard and back flush it will only cost you a score as i think the turbo on the s1 ain't water cooled but don't ask me. ain't a wizz kid on this stuff

 

But its a Vauxhall Frontera Wizz Kid
