Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / April 2004AUII Radiator? Leak
Got home tonight after a short drive to the shops for food etc, went back out to the car and noticed some water like substance on the ground, thought it was just the a/c, but then rememberd that I had the climate control OFF on the way out and back home. Smelt the substance and it's coolant :( Appears to be leakign from the radiator somewhere, but cant' get enough access to check where exactly (without taking all the fan covers, air intake etc off) Looked at the coolant level and it had dropped from mid way to well below low in a few hours :( Doesnt' appear to be coming from the hoses or anything simple :( Will top it up in the morning, drive the Ford dealer and be prepared for more $$$ to repair ! > Got home tonight after a short drive to the shops for food etc, went > back out to the car and noticed some water like substance on the [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Will top it up in the morning, drive the Ford dealer and be prepared > for more $$$ to repair ! The radiators are aluminium and plastic, if you get an electrical current running through the radiator water, the aluminium corrodes quickly. I'd be inclined to get that checked as well. The car is not that old.

Top it up and drive to a radiator repair shop, and save yourself a shitload of money.

I got a new ali radiator for the GTR earlier this year for under $400 new. Shouldn't cost you a load. Pull the radiator (5 minute job) and take it to a radiator specialist. Ali with plastic end tanks means if the tanks are leaking you can have them replaced pretty cheaply. Fraser I bought a radiator at the local wrecker recently , 40$ and a warranty , how cheap is that ?. > Got home tonight after a short drive to the shops for food etc, went back > out to the car and noticed some water like substance on the ground, thought [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Will top it up in the morning, drive the Ford dealer and be prepared for > more $$$ to repair ! |
