As you may have read in other threads my mig has a coolant leak and it is suspected that the head gasket has failed.
My question is:
Should I try using K-seal or not?
-
no
-
I would advise against it, the harm it could do else where + if your HG has gone... it needs fixing, a bodge will come back and bite you in the arse :(
-
Definitely not! K-seal is ok in an emergency... To get you home but isn't a solution or a permanent fix because of the potential for other problems! As they go, i'd use it over any other treatment, as it's very good and the least likely to cause problems elsewhere, but only in an emergency!
Besides, I doubt it would do any good with a headgasget fault anyway!
-
Kate,
i have never used the stuff but logic says with that the amount of coolent your loosing it wont work.
As the boys have said it might cause problems esle where within you engine and i agree with them.
I know your desperate to fix your car and at this moment in time would try anything. but just wait the boys have already said that they will help you out. the logicstics are going to take some time.
Just DONT stick that stuff in your motor. :)
-
Ok I won't. You're right it needs to be done properly.
Thanks for all you advice! :y
-
Thats ok Kate thats what we are here for.
Oh and if you fella needs someone to sound off at send him my way.
ill soon get him to shut up! ;D ;D

Kate
The sudgestion to use K seal was as a means to be able to drive the car to SHifnel for the work to be done and not as a long term fix.
In this case it would fix the headgasket failure as its not a fire ring collapse, it is a simple water leak.

I'm thinking about changing my ATF this weekend. I could put it in a paddling pool and save it if you like. ;)
.. and regarding K-seal, the way I see it, the car needs fixing but logistics are a problem. K-seal stands a good chance of sorting that problem out. It would only have to run a couple of hours and then it could all be flushed out, and the engine is coming apart anyway by the sounds of it. I'd say it's worth a try. I'd only ever use such stuff as a last resort for a temporary fix, but isn't that where we are now? Even if it just got you half way to Shifnal, it becomes more plausible from a green flag point of view. ::)

i have used it before and have a mate who has used with very good results ! the k seal is very good not like rad weld it contains copper particles which only go to leak and dont settle in system like rad weld so i would try it kate what have you got to lose ! car is not usable at the min and the k seal could sort it enough to get it to shifnal ! so go for it girl ! :y :y

When it's put like that... I had a very good experience with K-Seal but it was only temporary!! For the sake of £10 it's worth trying and seeing if it'll work to get you to Shifnal, but make sure you keep an eye on everything though!! :y :y :y :y
Oh, and make sure you charge your phone, just in case!! ;) ;) ;) ;)
I must confess to not reading through the previous topic thoroughly enough and I wasn't aware that the Firing rings were still intact!!
Must try harder!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

I notice if the wife has a significant change.....but not when she has a trim.....i.e. 10% of the hair length removed.
To her its significant, to me its not really noticeable.

I have to notice, its more than my life's worth not too, plus there will no tea ::)
